Concerts are canceled when there is lightning, heavy rain or wind at the beach, which would pose a danger for the audience as well as performers and their equipment.  Cloudy weather or light showers immediately preceding the concerts are not generally cause for cancellation.  In fact, rain may have moved inland by concert time, while the beach has cleared or remained dry.  

     Tarpon Springs Recreation Division staff will be on the beach early to monitor conditions and local weather advisories and make a decision to go forward (or not) based on prevailing weather as late as 6:45 PM.  Therefore, the City is unable to provide a cancellation recording earlier in the day unless there are hurricane warnings or other advance, severe weather warnings.  In general, please do not call the Recreation Division for this information until at least 6:45 PM.  Their number is 727-942-5628.

     At each one of our concerts, there will be buried treasures for the kids provided by the Tarpon Springs Recreation Division, as well as a monthly drawing for a special prize from our 2009 Corporate Sponsor, Fruits Real Estate Services. As another special bonus for those of you who attend regularly, the Recreation Division will be offering a "loyalty punchcard program" -- visit the Recreation Division's table to get your card at the first concert, and have it punched at each concert you attend throughout the season.  In November, all cards with 8 or more punches will be placed in a drawing to receive a gift basket filled with special items from local merchants, worth $100 or more!  Don't miss out on your chance to win!

This site was created by Friends of Music on the Beach (a volunteer group) as a guide to these free concerts on Sunset Beach, Tarpon Springs. Here you can get the latest line-up of performers (with links to their sites), answers to frequent questions, and links to event sponsors and community services.  Our goal is to provide you with all the information you need to enjoy Music on the Beach with your friends and family.  See you at the beach!
