The beach party is a FREE two day event featuring live music, beach games, kids' activities, arts and craft booths, local vendors, and a health expo. One of the highlights of this year’s festival is the BBQ by the Sea featuring the farm to table creations by Chef West of The Patio Restaurant, food that will sure leave your stomach happy.  

Another new feature this year is the Beach Party Corn Hole Tournament with cash prizes and the several Fitness Clinics put on by local fitness experts in the Health Expo.  This year's music entertainment  includes Sprayface, Unusual Suspects, Ray Jaurique and the Uptown Brothers, The Skarignals, goCcal and Good Rocky’s Revolver in the 805 Beer Garden. 

The Beach Party will have fun ocean themed free arts and crafts projects for kids of all ages. Kid's join the volunteers at the kid's tent to make their own beach memory art.



For the second year the Ventura Marathon and Beach Party will be together. The Kids Sand Run and Biking events are being held on Saturday, September 6th. The Marathon and 5K activities are being held on Sunday, September 7th.

This time around, the Ventura Marathon is kicking off its second year by partnering with five non-profit organizations including Pier Into The Future, the Humane Society of Ventura County, Autism Society Ventura County, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer and the Rotary Club of Ventura.

SIGN UP NOW

Participants signing up online will have the option of raising funds for one of the five charities mentioned. There is a team option too, through a club, an office or any group.
 
Although the event organizers feel most people will raise money out of the goodness of their hearts, they have added some incentives, which include a Ventura Marathon running hat ($100 goal), a Ventura Marathon hooded sweatshirt ($250 goal) and a free entry to next year’s race ($500).
 
The top individual and top team fundraisers will get additional prizes.
