2024 Music Line up
Somewhere in the mix of all that great charity work, good brew and spicy grub courtesy of our amazing hot sauce vendors, we have to lay down a soundtrack to capture the emotion and spirit of the day. That’s where music comes into the fold.
We aim to deliver a killer lineup you'll likely never see again on Long Beach Island — comprised of new, notable and original music artists who draw their own lines and impact music fans on national and even international levels. That’s why each year we also find a standout local artist to showcase on our Main Stage. As we grow, we hope our artistic community grows with it.
