Annual Live Oak Music Festival

The three-day, family-friendly festival takes place Friday through Sunday, June 19th to June 21st, 2026. The festival is organized by and serves as one of the primary annual fundraisers for KCBX Public Radio. Full Festival tickets for adults, teens, and children include camping on the festival grounds at the scenic El Chorro Regional Park in San Luis Obispo. Single day tickets, RV reservations, and camp parking passes are also available.

This community-favorite event brings friends and family together to create lasting memories through a variety of musical genres, including funk, bluegrass, soul, folk, alternative rock, Americana, world music, and more. “This is a Father’s Day tradition that my children have grown up with,” said KCBX General Manager Frank Lanzone, adding, “Now, I am thrilled to be attending the festival with my grandchildren, a multi-generational experience so many others in our community have also enjoyed.”

Beyond the music, Live Oak Music Festival offers a vibrant atmosphere complete with a diverse lineup of local and regional vendors offering food and beverages, apparel, jewelry, artwork, home furnishings, and more, as well as a daily family schedule of wellness activities, kids’ crafts, and performance opportunities. Full-festival tickets with camping privileges and single-day passes for adults, teens, and children are available at the festival’s website, www.liveoakfest.org, where visitors can also find music schedules, performer bios, festival maps, photos and videos, volunteer opportunities, and answers to frequently asked questions.
