A day of Blues, BBQ, and Harbor Views for a great cause
The Blues, BBQ & Portside Views Fundraiser is the Local Love Project’s biggest event of the year — bringing together music lovers, local businesses, and community members for an afternoon that blends entertainment with impact.
Artists performing
This year’s celebration features live performances by Kelly’s Lot, Guy Martin, and the Erik Lemaire Band — bringing you a perfect day of sunshine, dancing, and stunning Ventura Harbor views.
Come hungry — BBQ from Big Man BBQ will be available for purchase, along with local wines from Four Brix Winery and craft beer selections. Enjoy the music, hit the dance floor, and connect with friends — all while soaking up the energy of a perfect summer afternoon by the harbor.
Silent Auction Featuring Local Experiences & More
One of the highlights of the event is our silent auction, featuring a curated collection of items, experiences, and packages generously donated by local businesses and partners. From dining and travel to unique, one-of-a-kind offerings, there’s something for everyone — and every bid directly helps fund the Local Love Project’s disaster relief work in our community.

We’re holding a 50/50 raffle! Half the pot goes to a lucky winner, and the other half goes directly to the Local Love Project to support our disaster relief work. Advance tickets are available when you purchase your admission, and the winner is drawn live at the event.
