Atlantic Beach is making final preparations for its 7th annual Beach Music Festival.
The festival will be held Aug. 7 from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the boardwalk at Circle Regional Beach Access. There will be a free shuttle from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. for festival-goers. There is free parking at Carteret Community College and Crow’s Nest Marina Shopping Center. DoubleTree by Hilton also has parking but costs $15 for the day. The shuttle picks up and drops off at all three locations.
There is also parking at the Circle Regional Beach Access that costs $3 per hour.
The event was canceled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. This year, there are currently no COVID-19 restrictions for the event.
“We’ve received lots of positive feedback, said Emerald Isle’s Director of Recreation, Communications and Special Events Morgan Gilbert. “I think that the public is very excited to attend since we had to cancel in 2020.
