Music and Art by the Sea 2025

Season 23 of Music and Art by the Sea begins May 9, 2025, with a special early concert by the Bold City Brass Band.

From 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., listen to live music performed by a local musician or group. A different musical act plays each week, so you could hear country, rock, 80s and 90s music, yacht rock, pop, blues, jam bands, and folk music.

Guests are welcome to bring coolers and picnic baskets. Chairs and bug spray are encouraged. Chairs can be placed in the pavilion as early as 4:00 p.m. Each week, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., at least one food truck from the Village Garden Food Truck Park offers menu items for snacks or dinner.
