13 Free Beach Concerts Coming to Somers Point This Summer

The Somers Point Beach Concerts are back for 2026, and once again, they're completely free.

After being named "Best in Nation" in the USA Today Top Ten Readers' Poll two of the last three years, the Legacy Concerts on the Beach return to Somers Point with a full summer lineup of live music along the bay.

One of South Jersey's most popular summer traditions, the long-running series brings a mix of Grammy Award winners, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame artists, and top regional acts to the beach each week.

The concerts have become a summer staple at the Jersey Shore, drawing big crowds for waterfront views, a laid-back atmosphere, and one simple requirement: bring a beach chair.
