The 3-day music and arts festival is scheduled for May 14th - 16th and is sure to be an experience like no other.

Watching this caliber of performers directly on the beach will truly be a unique experience. There is just nothing like it, said A.J. Niland, of HUKA Entertainment. This will be one of the biggest beach parties this area has ever seen. With performances taking place on four stages, and two main stages on the beach, the festival hopes to bring the Gulf Coast into the national music scene.
