AB Beach Music Festival

The Atlantic Beach Beach Music Festival returns this May along the Boardwalk at the Circle in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina! It’s the perfect way to spend a fun-filled day on the beach soaking up the sun and listening to live bands, while taking in those gorgeous ocean views.

So grab your beach chair and cooler (just make sure you don’t have any glass containers!) and head over to Atlantic Beach. Festival guests can also grab drinks and snacks during the day from food trucks that will be serving at the festival.
