Sessions Surf Festival 2026 — Encinitas
A week where surfing, music, and art collide in the town that was built for all three. Sessions Surf Festival takes over Encinitas from September 12-19, 2026 — surf film screenings at the La Paloma Theatre, a community surf contest at Seaside Reef, art exhibits in local galleries, and headlining music acts including Osees, Unwritten Law, and Bully playing stages scattered across the coastline.
Formerly the Solento Surf Festival, Sessions has grown into the kind of week-long celebration that defines what Encinitas actually is: a surf town that takes its culture seriously without taking itself too seriously. Live music runs most nights. The surf contest draws local rippers who ride this break every morning. The film festival screens the kind of indie surf documentaries that never make it to streaming.
Multiple venues across Encinitas — Seaside Reef, La Paloma Theatre, and local galleries. Check sessionssurffestival.com for the full schedule and tickets.
If Encinitas is your town, you already know. If it's not, this is the week it becomes your town.
