Please note, this message from Steve on Facebook has been edited but is still useful for Marinapalooza.
“Many of you have been asking, as you do every year, is the Marinapalooza happening again this year??? The answer is YES, yes, YeS!!!! Marinapalooza is here to stay and is only gaining in popularity and notoriety each year…
It’s true, there are several bad apples in our neighborhood that would prefer to have the peace and quiet of an Iowa cornfield 24/7, 365…but for this ONE day each year, we all come together to celebrate our country’s independence by bonding in ultimate party style! With that said, please feel free to bring a cooler with the drink of your choice, set up your beach chair or blanket, and kick back and enjoy the SIXTEEN musical acts scheduled for this year.
Please know that there will be public port-o-potties set up at each end of Catamaran St. between Speedway and Pacific….unfortunately, my apartment must remain closed, as I am no longer ‘officially’ affiliated with this event.
Marinapalooza is sponsored by Bud & Bud Light, Jack Daniels, several radio stations, venicethemenice.com, surfrider foundation, creative chakra spa and AMP’d energy drinks…there will also be several booths setup from local businesses (i.e. ‘arbor’)…The festival kicks off at 10AM and will go until at least 10pm…although this year Marinapalooza is on a Saturday night, so it may be going past the normal 10pm this year…
Keep in mind if you are driving, your best option for parking is the lot at the end of Washington Blvd at the beach…it should cost about $10 or less, and you won’t have to hassle looking for parking if you come early…the later in the morning to early afternoon you come, your chances of even getting into the neighborhood are slim, as the police set up several blocks away due to the fireworks show planned for the evening and the sheer craziness of mass amounts of people populating one small beach area…riding bikes is always encouraged…
Please observe all posted signs on the block, respect the neighbors and the neighborhood by cleaning up any trash, not fighting and abide by the laws being enforced by any of the 50 to 100 officers on hand annually.
Bring your camera and your July 4th fun spirit! Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
Let’s Celebrate!!!
