If you’re looking for a full weekend that mixes live music, great food, and a reason to show up for the community, The Venice Blues, Rock, Reggae & BBQ is bringing all three to Venice. Hosted at the Venice Airport Festival Grounds, this event runs March 20th–March 22nd, 2026 and is built around three themed days—Blues Night (Friday), Rock Night (Saturday), and Reggae Day (Sunday)—plus BBQ, vendors, and live art.
Why this event matters: Supporting Coffee Talk Venice
This weekend also supports Coffee Talk Venice, an organization dedicated to supporting the homeless in our community. Coffee Talk provides hot meals and distributes sack lunches twice a week at the Venice Train Depot. In addition to meals, they provide clothing, glasses, dignity, companionship, and more. The event invites the community to come out and join in support of Coffee Talk Venice.
