🎵 Star Spangled Summer Concert Series & Fireworks

Daytona Beach Bandshell • Zendatta & Touch & Go (Police & Cars Tributes) • VIP $15

If you only do one thing this Memorial Day weekend in Daytona Beach, make it this. The Star Spangled Summer Concert Series kicks off its 2026 season Saturday night with two incredible tribute acts — Zendatta delivering a jaw-dropping tribute to The Police with vocals that genuinely sound like Sting, and Touch & Go capturing the new-wave magic of The Cars. Concert begins at 7:15 PM at the iconic Daytona Beach Bandshell, right on the ocean, with fireworks at 9:45 PM.

This free event is one of the most beloved traditions in all of Volusia County. General admission is free — just arrive and find a spot on the lawn. VIP reserved seating is $15 via AXS.com, Peabody Box Office, or the Bandshell Box Office on event day. Presented by Boardwalk Merchants and Friends of the Bandshell, the series continues every Saturday night through September 26.

Bring a beach chair or blanket, grab food from the Boardwalk, and let the ocean breeze carry the music. This is the Daytona Beach Bandshell at its absolute finest.

🏦 Memorial Concert — Daytona Beach Concert Band

Sunday afternoon brings one of the most meaningful events of the weekend.

The program features patriotic American music and classical favorites performed by dedicated community musicians who give their time and talent to Volusia County through the art of music.

A Memorial Day concert is more than entertainment — it’s an act of remembrance. In Volusia County, which has deep military ties through its history, this event carries real weight. Bring the family Sunday afternoon and take a moment to reflect on what this holiday is truly about.
