Marco Island 1st Annual Beach Music Festival

The festival begins with a Saturday night beach concert featuring "The Landsharks" and local sensation "Casey Weston." Sunday festivities include exciting events such as a skim board competition with local Marco and Naples talent, a Marco Island Art League exhibition, a sandcastle competition and the area's top restaurants will battle for bragging rights at the "Best Burger in Paradise" competition.

Tickets are priced at only $5.00 per day and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to support The Joy of Giving benefiting the local Naples/Marco Island children. A beautiful setting, great music, and the opportunity to give back to your community!

Available on Friday, Jan. 22 and Saturday, Jan. 23, the package includes an island-view guestroom and a pair of tickets for the two-day event.
