Shoreline Aquatic Park, located in Long Beach, California, is a scenic public waterfront park known for its picturesque views of the Queen Mary, Rainbow Harbor, and the Long Beach skyline. While primarily recognized for its recreational spaces, walking paths, and the iconic Lions Lighthouse for Sight, the area has occasionally been transformed into a unique outdoor nightlife and concert venue, especially during special events and music festivals. The park’s waterfront setting, surrounded by palm trees and open lawns, offers a distinct atmosphere for open-air events unlike traditional nightclubs.

The park's history dates back to the early 1990s, part of a major redevelopment effort of the Long Beach downtown waterfront area that transformed former industrial sites into vibrant public spaces. While Shoreline Aquatic Park is not a nightclub in the traditional sense, it has built a reputation for hosting large-scale music festivals and cultural gatherings that attract both locals and visitors from across southern California. Its cultural significance is tied to its role as a gathering place for community celebrations, LGBTQ+ pride events, and diverse music festivals that highlight Long Beach’s thriving music and arts scene.

Over time, the venue has benefited from city projects that improved accessibility, lighting, and landscaping, all of which enhanced its appeal for organizers of large public events. While the park itself has not changed physical locations, certain event infrastructures, such as temporary stages and hospitality zones, are routinely set up and reimagined for each event, allowing for dynamic use of the space. This adaptability has positioned Shoreline Aquatic Park as an important locale for both local and touring artists, providing rare opportunities for performances by the water under the open sky.

Notable artists who have performed at events in Shoreline Aquatic Park include international acts like Kaskade, Snoop Dogg, and Calvin Harris, as well as celebrated local talent such as War, Sublime with Rome, and The Aggrolites. The park has additionally hosted renowned DJs and performers including Steve Aoki, Tiësto, and Alison Wonderland during electronic music festivals, while also supporting grassroots talent from the greater Los Angeles music scene.
