Sunset Beach Summer Concert Series

Sunset Beach Concert Series

Sunset Beach Free Concert Series

It is getting close to that time of year to celebrate summer with all of us here at Sunset Beach. Come enjoy the free live music and dance the night away or sit back, relax, and soak up some sun while bopping to the music.  The Sunset Beach Free Concert Series is held between Memorial Day and Labor Day at the Village Park at Seaside Village. (Look for the gazebo in the small park across from Fibber’s Restaurant on the mainland).

The Free Concerts are held  6:30-8:30 each Wednesday (weather permitting). – bring your beach chair and enjoy!

So don’t forget – if Wednesday is a bad night for you, or your group just wants more free music there is also the Friday night concerts on Ocean Isle during the summer! This is at the Coastal Carolina Museum, and starts at 6:30 as well.

This gives you even more reasons to come check out Sunset Beach, NC and we would love to have you as our guests here at The Sunset Inn. Don't miss out on some great entertainment and a beautiful beach town. See you soon!
