SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT FESTIVAL 2026

ABOUT EVENT

Same Same But Different (SSBD) is an intimate music, arts, and camping festival held along the shores of Lake Perris, California. Built around music, creativity, and community, SSBD brings together multiple stages of live music alongside immersive art, workshops, beach activities, and unexpected experiences throughout the weekend. The festival intentionally keeps attendance limited, creating a more connected atmosphere where attendees can explore, dance, create, and experience something a little different.
