Mark Farina live in Long Beach

Experience Mark Farina live on September 6th

Mark Farina is scheduled to perform aboard a Catalina Classic Cruises vessel departing from Long Beach, California on September 6, 2026. Farina is widely recognized as a pioneer of mashup and seamless mixing techniques within house music. His style blends elements of classic house, breaks, funk, and soul, often incorporating vocal samples and creating energetic, dance-focused sets. He initially gained prominence in the 1990s Chicago house scene and continues to tour internationally.

Catalina Classic Cruises offers multi-hour scenic excursions aboard historically significant vessels – specifically, vintage steamships. The company primarily operates the *S.S. Catalina*, a 1938 vessel originally designed for passenger and vehicle transport between Long Beach and Catalina Island. While originally serving as a regular transportation route, the *S.S. Catalina* now functions predominantly as a venue for special events, including concerts and themed cruises. The ship has undergone extensive restoration to maintain its art deco aesthetic and operational capabilities. These cruises typically feature views of the Long Beach harbor and coastline while providing a unique event atmosphere due to the ship’s historical character and slower pace compared to modern vessels.
