Cape May’s 47 Free Summer Concerts — Full 2026 Schedule

If you're heading to Cape May this summer, 47 free concerts in Rotary Park might be the best reason to go.

The city's 2026 "Music in the Park" series brings 47 free live concerts to the heart of town starting in June.

Through Labor Day Weekend, expect everything from jazz and acoustic sets to tribute bands and full ensembles, all starting at 7 PM.

Just bring a blanket or a beach chair and relax!

While Cape May Convention Hall is also hosting several big-ticket concerts this summer, the Rotary Park series offers a free, laid-back alternative, perfect for a casual night out.

Set around the park's iconic gazebo and surrounded by Cape May's historic charm, it's an easy, no-cost way to add live entertainment to any summer night at the Jersey Shore.
