The inaugural Ocean Way music festival in Santa Monica was canceled two weeks before its scheduled September 26-27 debut due to severe beach erosion caused by Hurricane Marie. Organizers Goldenvoice and the City of Santa Monica confirmed that storm surf and runoff made the venue unsafe, with refunds issued automatically.
