Three performances are scheduled each night at 5:30 p.m., 6:45 p.m., and 8:00 p.m.

A Musical Kick-Off
The kickoff performance is happening on August 28 with Evolution: Motown, but we got a sneak preview!
This high-energy quartet is a live tribute show featuring the evolution of soul and Motown.
Get ready to sing and dance to classics from the 1960s to modern soul music.
The musicians and performers are amazing. The vibrant show featured an amazing selection of music that had the audience up and dancing.
This weekend is just the beginning! The series continues with the vocal group Hanson. The American pop-rock band is best known for their global hit “MMMBop” and “Where’s the Love.”
The 2026 lineup also includes Yellowcard, MercyMe, New Found Glory, Smash Mouth, Tiffany, The Fray, STARSHIP featuring Mickey Thomas, Ben Rector, Bowling for Soup, Boyz II Men, The Beach Boys, and more.
Several performers will also make their Eat to the Beat debuts in 2026, including The War and Treaty, Fitz and the Tantrums, Grupo Manía, Rey Ruiz, Allen Stone, Lauren Alaina, Grace Potter, and others.
