This year’s Party with a Purpose is taking over the Belly Up in Solana Beach! Bring your moves, your style, and your energy for a night of music, dancing, and making an impact.

The night kicks off with PJ da DJ spinning high-energy tracks to set the vibe, followed by The Mustache Bash Band, a funk-filled celebration of bold style, feel-good grooves, and the soul of ’75 where disco beats, funk rhythms, and retro cool collide.

It’s more than just a party… it’s a fun-raiser for the San Diego International Film Festival’s FOCUS on Impact Education Program, delivering powerful films, curriculum, and conversation on social impact topics to San Diego high school students.
