ORLANDO, Fla., June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This summer, Margaritaville is turning up the volume across its hotels, resorts, and destinations with the debut of Summer of Music, a celebration of live entertainment and the brand's signature laid-back lifestyle.

Throughout the season, participating properties will feature an expanded lineup of live performances and music-driven experiences, including sets from local artists, rooftop DJ sessions, themed events, and poolside parties. Rooted in one of the brand's most iconic pillars, the program builds on Margaritaville's year-round commitment to live entertainment, offering guests additional opportunities to experience music across its destinations.

From beaches and lakes to rooftops and cities, properties across the U.S., Mexico, and the Caribbean will showcase programming designed to capture the soundtrack of summer. Highlights include:

• Margaritaville Resort Times Square: In the heart of New York City, the resort will bring summer energy with rooftop DJs, live entertainment, tropical cocktails, fan-focused watch parties, and a special collab with the cast of the Broadway hit SIX, featuring themed performances and limited-time cocktails.
• Margaritaville Hotel San Diego: Guests can enjoy rooftop DJ sessions throughout the summer alongside the hotel's popular Day Drifters Brunch featuring live steel drum performances. The property will also host a special rooftop benefit concert in celebration of Jimmy Buffett Day, supporting the San Diego Music Foundation.

• Margaritaville Lake Resort Lake of the Ozarks: Bringing laid-back lake life to the lineup, the resort will feature live entertainment all season long, including LandShark Live performances at the Tiki Hut Pool Bar, lakeside music experiences, and casual dining.

"Music has always been at the heart of the Margaritaville experience, setting the tone for how guests unwind and escape," said Joe Ginel, Vice President of Entertainment & Atmosphere at Margaritaville. "With Summer of Music, we're building on that tradition by expanding live entertainment across our hotels and resorts, giving guests more ways to enjoy live music, discover local talent, and catch performances in new destinations."

Summer of Music will extend beyond destinations through special music-focused programming and collaborations. As part of the season's celebration, Radio Margaritaville will premiere Songlines & Stories with Zac Brown & Mac McAnally on July 3, featuring an intimate conversation between the two acclaimed songwriters as they reflect on Jimmy Buffett's legacy and share personal stories. These music-driven experiences are also reflected in a limited-edition Summer of Music retail collection featuring apparel and accessories inspired by the season's theme – available on www.margaritaville.com/shop.

While Summer of Music celebrates the spirit of summer travel, guests can enjoy live entertainment and music-inspired experiences at Margaritaville destinations year-round.
