Kick off the flip flops and get ready to dance the day and night away at this annual festival that entices everyone to have some fun in the sand. The Atlantic Beach Music Festival is a community-wide celebration that takes place just steps away from the oceanfront, and which always features a talented line-up of local, regional, and even national musicians that pay a visit to the sunny Crystal Coast shoreline.

Now in its 11th year, the 2025 line-up for the annual Atlantic Beach Music Festival promises to be one of the best yet with a number of regionally and nationally acclaimed bands. The action takes place at the beach boardwalk at the Circle Public Beach Access, which makes it easy to reach for visitors staying from Beaufort and Morehead City, to the central coastal communities of Emerald Isle. With music playing throughout the day and evening, everyone is welcome to stop by and join in the fun, and discover some talented new artists along the way. Family friendly and always entertaining, the Atlantic Beach Music Festival is a highlight of the spring season on the Crystal Coast.
