The Soundtrack to Your Summer Starts Here
Follow the Music to Paradise at Margaritaville Hotels & Resorts
The first note plays, and suddenly you're back on a beach watching the sunset, dancing barefoot by the pool, or sharing another round with friends long after you meant to call it a night.
That's the power of music. It has a way of turning moments into memories.
This summer, we're celebrating that feeling across Margaritaville destinations with a Summer of Music—a season-long celebration of live entertainment, unforgettable performances, and the soundtrack that has always been at the heart of the Margaritaville lifestyle. Participating locations across the U.S., Mexico, and the Caribbean are expanding their entertainment lineups with live bands, rooftop DJs, beachside performances, pool parties, songwriter sessions, local artists, and one-of-a-kind events designed to help guests slow down, sing along, and soak up every moment.
Every Latitude Has Its Own Rhythm
Music has always been part of the Margaritaville DNA—from the songs that inspired a lifestyle to the moments that bring people together over frozen concoctions and picturesque sunsets.
That's what makes Summer of Music so special. Rather than creating one offering across every destination, we invited each slice of paradise to put its own spin on the celebration. Each property has embraced what makes its location unique, creating moments inspired by the people, culture, and rhythms that define their corner of the world.
From the Gulf to the Caribbean, Something's Always Playing
Whether you're a beachside-acoustic-at-golden-hour type or a silent-disco-under-the-stars type (yes, that's a real thing happening this summer), there's a Margaritaville spot with your name on it.
At our all-inclusive Margaritaville Island Reserve Resort Riviera Maya, the lineup is stacked with poolside acoustic sets, Sunday saxophone sessions, white parties, foam parties, and nightly DJ sets at LandShark Brewery & Grill. This adults-only Resort is endlessly social, while providing a perfect balance of the party vs the hammock. You choose whether you want to join the fun or sip back and chill out.
Just up the coast at the family-friendly Margaritaville Island Reserve Resort Riviera Cancun, you'll find Rock BBQ Nights, pop bands, Mexican Fiestas complete with marimba sets, and acrobatic shows mixed in for good measure. It's a full-on sensory adventure for the whole group.
Down at Margaritaville Beach Resort Nassau, Junkanoo Promenade transforms into Regatta Nights where local vendors, DJs, and Bahamian entertainment come together to create the kind of energy that makes you forget what day it is.
The Coasts Are Calling
Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers Beach always has something going on. With three venues, concerts every Friday and Saturday, and sunsets that feel almost unfair, it delivers on every front.
Over at Margaritaville Beach House Key West, the property is going for something more intimate. Guests can enjoy local musician Michael Naughton performing weekly on Friday evenings from 5 to 8 PM, backed by that unmistakable artistic Key West atmosphere.
Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort brings what it bills as the most robust free weekly live music in the region, including 30 local bands, two venues (indoor and outdoor), every single week. For guests who love variety, this property delivers on all things fun and escapism!
And on the other side of the country, Margaritaville Hotel San Diego is doing it three ways: steel drum brunches at LandShark Bar & Grill on weekends, rooftop DJ sets all summer long, and a special benefit concert on August 28 for Jimmy Buffett Day, with proceeds supporting the San Diego Music Foundation.
When You're Heading Inland, There's a Playlist for That Too
Margaritaville Hotel Nashville is programming local artists all season at JWB Grill & Fins Bar, giving a nod to Nashville's legendary music culture that feels right at home here.
In the Midwest, Margaritaville Hotel Kansas City just opened their brand-new outdoor stage, setting a FIN-tastic scene for an array of acoustic sets and bands all summer long.
At Margaritaville Lake Resort Lake Conroe, located outside Houston, the lakefront becomes the backdrop for everything from poolside DJ parties to late-night sessions at Boathouse Bar & Lounge. And at Margaritaville Lake Resort Lake of the Ozarks, guests and locals alike can enjoy what they call “LandShark Live at the Tiki Hut” featuring a balanced blend of lakeside music and frozen concoctions.
Margaritaville Resort Cape Cod is offering live music daily across multiple venues, from courtyard acoustic sets to full bands at LandShark Bar & Grill.

Rooftop DJs, live entertainment, watch parties for the summer's biggest international soccer tournament, and even a collaboration with the Broadway cast of SIX, complete with themed performances and limited-edition cocktails.
And The Fun Continues Campside & at Compass Hotels
Camp Margaritaville Resort Crystal Beach in Texas brings concerts to Paradise Park on Fridays and Saturdays all summer. Camp Margaritaville Resort Pigeon Forge goes from laid-back acoustic to high-energy weekend shows.
