ANAHEIM, Calif. — After a successful first year in 2019, the Wonderfront Music & Arts Festival will finally return to the Port of San Diego, Nov. 18-20.
It was postponed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Festival producer Paul Thornton of TAG Presents said it has been a whirlwind to bring the 2022 installment of the three-day event to the masses amid cost increases and lineup changes, but he feels good about Wonderfront’s second year.
“It’s been a wild ride,” he said during a recent phone interview. “We’re excited it’s happening, we’re excited that we’re back and really we’ve got a great lineup and sponsors that have stepped in to bring some great activations. Instead of year two, it really feels like year 1.5. We lost some momentum from 2019, as you do anytime you’re sort of out of sight and out of mind, but we’re hitting it hard in 2022 and people are excited about it.”
