The Beatles on the Beach Festival is an annual celebration of the anniversary of The Beatles arrival in America. This year it was the 62nd anniversary, featuring 2 nights of live concerts at Mizner Amphitheater.
Aside from live performances they also have a wide variety of events like happy hours, art exhibits, meet and greets, lectures, etc. If you are a Beatles fan you will absolutely love the sheer amount of Beatles related things that are going on.
I've been to three of these festivals and the big ticket is definitely the headlining live performances. In 2024 they had Cheap Trick which was huge. In 2025 they had Night Ranger, which was awesome as well. This year I feel like they really cut corners on the headliners. No major acts at all. Instead they had Tony Kishman, a Paul McCartney tribute act one night (he was also a headliner in 2025). And they also had Morgan Freeman's Symphonic Blues Experience, a "guided" blues journey, which was really lame. The last two years we got rock star energy, this year we got guided blues journey's and a rehashed tribute act. I was really bummed.
Overall I do like the fact that the organizer puts this event together, it's definitely cool. But they really have to step up their game with regard to talent for 2027. I would love to see a band like Weezer, Sublime or Journey play. And I don't think it's out of the question considering the venue. Weezer just played in the Mizner Amphitheater last year. read more
