Beach Central Park on the Seawall is one popular entertainment spot. Saengerfest Park in the historic downtown district also hosts rally activities. As a result, visitors can easily enjoy live music while exploring different parts of the island.
The official 2026 band schedule is still to come. So, keep an eye out for additional announcements as rally weekend gets closer.
