The Panama City Beach Summer Concert Series kicks off in June

The series, now in its seventeenth year, is held at Aaron Bessant Park adjacent to Pier Park, and is free. The event features all genres of music and brings out families with young children, dog owners and many picnickers. Food trucks are on site, offering a variety of menu options. No alcohol is sold but attendees can BYOB. The event is especially popular among local residents. “The last few years, attendance has been down a little and that really began in 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Cheryl Joyner, director of PCB Parks and Recreation which puts on the annual event. “We are very excited for this year’s series as we have a lot of talented musicians from all over, including several who are local. We appreciate all our sponsors, as we could not do this event without them.” Concerts were on Tuesday nights last year, and officials hope the move back to Thursday will bring out more music fans. The community seemed to favor Thursday night for its “going into the weekend” vibe. “The Summer Concert Series with live music is a great local event to bring the family to,” said Mayor Mark Sheldon. “Switching back to Thursday night is a great way to get an early start to a fun-filled weekend in our community.

The 2023 Gulf Coast Jam Presented by Jim Beam wrapped up under a stunning full moon in beautiful Panama City Beach Sunday night.

HARDY literally rocked the house after Breland, Dylan Marlowe, Them Dirty Roses and Jonboy Storey performed. Lauren Alaina joined HARDY on stage for a rousing rendition of “One Beer.” Festival Executive Producer Rendy Lovelady and COO Mark Sheldon took the stage that evening to announce Morgan Wallen as the headliner for the 2024 festival. Miranda Lambert took time from her Velvet Rodeo Las Vegas residency to delight adoring fans with 90 minutes of hits Friday evening. Before Justin Moore and Warren Zeiders performed, audio of Chris Stapleton’s “Star Spangled Banner” was played and a team of fighter jets from nearby Eglin Air Force Base flew over the appreciative crowd. Shane Profitt, DOZZI, and the first of the top three winners of Wednesday’s Jim Beam Sessions competition rounded out the... Read More
