The holiday weekend is here! Time to kick back, relax, and enjoy the unofficial start of summer.

If you want to avoid the shore traffic but still hear some great music and sit outside to enjoy a cocktail, we have some alternatives for you. There’s plenty of choices right here on the lake.

Starting today and continuing every Friday throughout the summer, we’ll bring you a guide to what band is playing where on the lake. Check out our guide, text your friends, and enjoy a great evening out without the hassle of traffic or an hour-plus car ride.
