Voted “Best Music Festival” by OC Weekly three years in a row (2009-2011), this year SAM will focus its efforts at large-scale music events, including Battle of the Tribute Bands, Long Beach Funk Fest, BuskerFest, and, new to this year’s series, Dancin’ In The Streets. Utilizing the skills and creativity of numerous downtown businesses, this free, all-ages series will showcase outstanding local acts at several eco-conscious outdoor venues throughout the Downtown region.

With performances spanning multiple genres including rock, funk, jazz and pop, there was truly be something for everyone across these 90 precious days of summer.

After three enormously successful seasons of SAM behind us—bringing in an estimated 30,000 attendees each year and garnering substantial media attention and critical acclaim—the SAM Team is looking forward to 2012! Join us!
