As the sun sets over Daytona Beach, the summer comes alive with the electrifying sounds of classic rock echoing across the shore. It’s time for the Friends of the Bandshell Star-Spangled Summer Concert Series, an annual tradition that brings music lovers together for free beachside concerts every Saturday and on the Fourth of July, running from Memorial Day Weekend through September.
Concerts by the Sea
Imagine this: your toes in the sand, the Atlantic breeze in your hair, and the vibrant sounds of live music filling the air. The historic Daytona Beach Bandshell sets the stage for an unforgettable night, where tribute bands bring legendary rock anthems to life against the backdrop of a breathtaking ocean view.
A Symphony of Lights
But the night doesn’t end when the music stops. As the final guitar chord fades, a dazzling fireworks display ignites the sky, creating a magical ending to an already spectacular evening. The reflection of the fireworks over the ocean adds an extra layer of enchantment, turning the night into a full sensory experience of sound, sight, and sea.
Not able to make it to the show? If you're staying at Max Beach Resort, don’t worry, you can still enjoy the fireworks in style! Grab a cocktail from Venn Bar and head up to the 12th-floor Sunrise or Sunset Terrace for a perfect view of the fireworks display over the Daytona Beach Pier. The show starts around 9:45 PM every Saturday from Memorial Day Weekend through September, including the Fourth of July!
The Ultimate Beachside Concert Experience
The Friends of the Bandshell go above and beyond to make your night special. From VIP seating with the best views of the stage to beach chair rentals for laid-back listening, there’s something for everyone. Light-up toys keep the kids entertained, while the beachside bar serves up refreshing drinks to keep you cool.
