The Mustache Bash

The Mustache Bash is a boutique, '70s-themed, funk and disco festival held annually on the waterfront of San Diego Bay each March. It began with no venue, no stages, no artists or investors; just a group of best buds with a funky vision and a backyard. That vision became a house party where five dollars at the door bought you a bottomless cup, an iPod pumped throwbacks through a makeshift speaker, the living room lit up with disco dance moves, and a family of funky, ‘70s souls came to fruition. Mustaches were mandatory back then. Dudes and dames alike came clad in show-stopping ‘70s outfits. And by the time the police arrived to shut us down, a legendary holiday was born. 15 years later, The Mustache Bash has grown into SoCal’s definitive funk festival, a special day each year when friends get together to set their dancin’ spirits asail and fly their funk flags undeniably high. Live music from legendary funk and disco artists immerses us in an era when love was free and soul reigned supreme. Bell-bottomed booties shake beneath glittering disco balls. Mustaches glow in the golden sun. Disco-dosed dance moves break free and we boogie. We bust out. We bash. Welcome to the funkiest disco day on earth.
