Join us at the intersection of Music, Culture and Innovation
We get asked quite often
“What’s the cost and what do we get?”
We like to take a step back and start by asking you, “If you could do anything, what would you like to do? What do you want to ultimately get out of the partnership?”
OVERVIEW
CRSSD Fest
The Festival
Since its 2015 debut, CRSSD Festival has carved out a unique space in the global festival scene, championing left-of-center house and techno in Southern California while remaining fiercely independent. Held biannually in downtown San Diego, this premier electronic music festival attracts music lovers from around the world with its eclectic mix of house, techno, and live acts. Set against the quintessential waterfront backdrop, CRSSD features a 2-day experience with three stages showcasing world-renowned DJs and producers, complemented by craft beverages, gourmet food, and breathtaking sunset views. Heading into it's twelfth year, the festival's three stages continue to showcase the burgeoning power and diversity of electronic music.
The Location
Our seaside venue is located at 1600 Pacific Coast Highway just across from the San Diego Bay and sharing space with the County of San Diego administration building.
Waterfront Park is just a mile from San Diego International Airport and within walking distance of Santa Fe Station, offering convenient access to Amtrak trains and trolleys. Located only a couple of miles from San Diego’s historic Gaslamp Quarter, the CRSSD experience extends after dark with a multi-venue afterparty program.
Over the past 11 years, CRSSD Festival has become one of the main events on the dance music calendar.
CRSSD’s lineups have been characteristically diverse, blending different genres and eras of electronic music, and hosting the most influential artists to play across exceptionally strong lineups.
