Jax Beach Summer Fest is making its comeback August 7–9, 2026, after a one-year hiatus. The festival takes over Seawalk Pavilion at Jacksonville Beach — one of Northeast Florida's largest outdoor stages — for a packed weekend of live music, fashion, food vendors, and local business showcases.
Each day of the festival has its own flavor. Friday, August 7 kicks things off with a Teacher and Duval County Public Schools Appreciation Soiree, giving local educators a proper start to the weekend. Saturday, August 8 is the centerpiece: a free, all-ages Beach Mini-Music and Community Fest at the Jacksonville Beach Seawalk Pavilion, open to anyone who wants to soak up the summer atmosphere. The weekend wraps Sunday, August 9 with a community Sunday service followed by brunch.
Beyond the entertainment, the festival has a giving-back component built in, with a back-to-school supply drive running throughout the event to support area students heading into the new school year.
Seawalk Pavilion is located at 75 1st Street North in Jacksonville Beach. Tickets and additional details are available through Visit Jacksonville.
