Doors open at 6 PM so stake out your spot early — bring low-back beach chairs or a cozy blanket and settle in on the green before the music begins at 7:30 PM.</p><p>Set directly across from the Gulf of Mexico in the charming walkable village of Alys Beach, this is one of the most scenic free events of the entire summer. Arrive early to browse the community before showtime, and plan to linger after — the atmosphere on 30A on a balmy May evening does not get much better than this.</p>
