Funking Forward: The Mustache Bash Raises $1M to Keep the Disco Boogie Alive!

We are thrilled to announce that The Mustache Bash has successfully raised $1,000,000 in its latest funding round—a momentous milestone for the iconic festival that has defined SoCal’s funk and disco scene for over 15 years.

Founded as a humble backyard party with no venue, stages, artists, or investors—just a group of best buds with a dreamy, funky vision—the festival has grown into a dazzling, '70s-themed extravaganza held annually on the picturesque waterfront of San Diego Bay each March.

The funds raised will be pivotal in expanding the festival’s infrastructure, enhancing stage designs, and securing legendary talent to deliver unforgettable live music experiences that pay homage to the golden era of funk and disco.

With this injection of capital, The Mustache Bash aims to elevate the immersive experience that originally saw a lively gathering of soul-filled enthusiasts (many sporting mandatory mustaches and chic ‘70s outfits) transform into a full-blown cultural phenomenon where bottomless cups, throwback tunes, and boogie-worthy dance moves were the norm.

Investors and partners alike share the vision: a celebration of friendship, music, and unapologetic funk in a setting where glittering disco balls meet the sunlit waters of the bay.

This funding not only reinforces the festival’s status as a beacon of artistic expression and community spirit in Southern California but also lays the groundwork for innovative programming and strategic growth.

As we prepare for our next chapter, we invite our vibrant community to join us in keeping the spirit alive, dancing under the sparkling lights, and celebrating a culture where love is free and the beat never stops.
