Red, white, blue…and live music, cold drinks, and packed lineups all weekend long.

The 7 MIle Island knows how to celebrate, and July 4th Weekend is always one of the biggest of the summer. From Avalon to Stone Harbor (and a few favorites beyond), the stage is set for a weekend full of entertainment, fireworks, and holiday celebrations.

Below, we’ve rounded up the weekend music schedule at bars, restaurants, and beach bars throughout the area. Bookmark it, rally your summer crew, and get ready for another perfect summer weekend at the shore.

Don’t miss one of the island’s favorite traditions - the Avalon July 4th Boat Parade!

Friday, July 4 | Parade kicks off at 3pm at the Avalon Yacht Club 

Watch for the final boat, The Outnumbered  for this year’s official Avalon t-shirts.
