Daytona Beach Bandshell

Things to do in the summer

Even though we have been exploring inside activities to escape the heat, a series around things to do in the summer would not be complete without talking about the Daytona Beach Bandshell.

Every Saturday from now till the middle of September Friends of the Bandshell host a Summer Concert Series: FREE concerts at – well – the Bandshell! It’s a Daytona Beach summer thing to do, and even in the heat it is great fun. On July 4, there is a huge display of fireworks, as well. 

The Bandshell, with seating of 4,000, opened with a bang on July 4, 1937 sharing front page with headlines of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance and a picture of the Dionne quintuplets. A record crowd of 25,000 was on hand in the city for motorcycle races on the beach, a baseball game in the ballpark, a parade on Beach Street, and the Bandshell Concert. The 48 foot by 114 foot natural coquina rock bandshell amphitheater was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

Whether you are visiting, here part or all of the year, the Daytona Beach Bandshell is a must see and experience. It is located on A1A, directly adjacent to the famous Daytona Beach Boardwalk, the clock tower, stores, restaurants, the Daytona Beach Pier, and of course the beach!

You can enter the Bandshell through Ocean Walk Village from A1A or the overpass from the Parking Garage. Seating is limited so be sure to bring a chair or blanket. It is against Florida Law to bring alcoholic beverages into the Bandshell. Chair rental is available.
