A Weekend Full of Musical Fun

The Beach Music Festival is part of a broader weekend of musical activities in our lovely Aiken. Right after the festival, on May 10, the Soulfeathers Psychedelic will take the stage alongside The J.W. for another lively performance. Then, don’t miss the majestic Aiken Symphony concert featuring Capriccio Espagnol on the same day, followed by the remarkable Aiken Civic Orchestra concert titled Johannes and Clara on May 18. What a fantastic chance to soak in some local art and culture!
