Doheny Days is produced by Omega Events, which has successfully operated 25 festivals at Doheny State Beach, including 8 years of Doheny Days (1997-2004) and fourteen consecutive years of the internationally recognized Doheny Blues Festival. “For years, fans of Doheny Days have been awaiting its return and we felt it was time to deliver,” says Rich Sherman, President of Omega Events. “I can’t tell you how many emails and phone calls I’ve received over the years from people asking about the festival.” The excitement and love for Doheny Days never faded, inspiring the producers of the event to re-launch their beloved beach festival.
