Description
At Yorktown’s Sounds of Summer Concert Series, sunsets are sweet, the music is live, and the vibes are unbeatable.
Grab your lawn chairs, kick off your shoes, and dance by the York River during Yorktown’s Sounds of Summer Concert Series! The Embers boast numerous albums and single releases that span decades in the beach music genre. Having been inducted into the South Carolina Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame and the South Carolina Beach Music Hall of Fame, The Embers are honored to carry the moniker of North Carolina’s Official Ambassadors of Music. The band will put joy in your step, love in your heart, and beach music in your soul!
Each Thursday evening brings a different beat—country, beach, jazz, R&B, and more—along with delicious food trucks and cool coastal breezes. Come early to grab dinner or dessert from one of our waterfront favorites like Water Street Grille, Carrot Tree, or Ben & Jerry’s. Then, settle in for a night of great music, good friends, and summer memories made under the stars.
Guests are permitted to bring their own blankets, chairs, and small coolers. No tables, umbrellas, or tents are allowed. There will be a dance floor, friendly games of corn hole, and tasty, to-go meals from rotating food trucks available for purchase.
Free parking is available at designated public parking lots throughout town, including York Hall, York-Poquoson Courthouse, and County Administration Building.
The complimentary, ADA accessible Yorktown Trolley runs from 5 to 9:30 p.m. during every concert with a modified route that still includes some of the stops on the outskirts of town.
