In just one year Pacific Festival has decided it’s time to move to a bigger location. Last year the very first Pacific Festival took place at Triangle Square in Costa Mesa and by all accounts, was very successful. In fact, I personally thought that was a great location for an intimate event. This year however things won’t be as intimate, and a bit more massive.

for pictures and our review of last year's Pacific Festival.

On August 13, 2011, Pacific Festival OC will take place at Irvine Lake (Oak Canyon Ranch) and will feature 30+ Artists. The event is scheduled to start at 11AM and go on all day and night. VIP tickets are available and for the hosted VIP option, Access to complimentary appetizers, beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverage services from 11:00am-12:00am.

A recently published press release provided some insight into this year’s festival:

The event's website, www.pacificfestival.com doesn't have information on this year's festival just yet (except for a cool teaser trailer!), but I’m sure in the coming months they will update it!
