Since 1994, the Ventura Music Festival has brought world-class live music to the heart of our community – uniting people through performances that inspire, educate, and uplift. Our mission is to present exceptional, diverse musical experiences while expanding access to the arts for all, regardless of age, background, or means. From iconic stages to local classrooms, we champion music education, nurture emerging talent, and offer free programs that make the joy of music truly inclusive. At VMF, we believe music is a universal gift, and everyone deserves a front-row seat.
