Happy Sundays Fest (AKA Happy Sundays FREE Music Fest) is a free music festival organized by Julia Kugel, Scott Montoya and Jess Giles that takes place annually in Long Beach, California. Dubbed the "Anti-Music Festival"[1], it serves as an alternative to high-priced music festivals. Supporters of the fest include Zaferia Business Association, Liquid Death, Red Bull, Open Beer, PBR, Rhythm Clothing, Studios For Schools, Port of Long Beach, and F&M Bank, as well as elected officials such as Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia[2], Long Beach Vice Mayor Cindy Allen, Los Angeles Supervisor Janice Hahn, Councilmember Daryl Supernaw and Councilmember Kristina Duggan. In 2024, Happy Sundays expanded to two days and expanded its scope to host aerospace talks.[3]
Along with organizing the annual free festival, the Happy Sundays team has collaborated with Long Beach Symphony, Michelin Star winner Heritage and acclaimed arranger and CalArts faculty Eyvind Kang for Psychedelic Symphony, visual, auditory and culinary experience for art lovers of all ages[4].
