The Seacoast has a fantastic array of outdoor entertainment all summer long. On a warm summer night, there's nothing better than hanging outside to listen to live music or watch a show or movie. Make the most out of the longer days and head to one of these venues to relax and catch a show with family and friends! We will keep adding to this list as more events become available, so check back regularly.
