The PettyBreakers

If you grew up on Tom Petty, this one's for you. The PettyBreakers are widely considered the best Tom Petty tribute act around, delivering note-for-note performances of the hits you know by heart. Don't Do Me Like That. Free Fallin'. American Girl. It's all there, exactly the way it should sound.

July 11th

Jimmy's Buffet

No shoes required. Jimmy's Buffet brings the easy, sun-soaked energy of a Jimmy Buffett show straight to the lake — island anthems, crowd singalongs, and enough good vibes to make you forget it's a Tuesday. Or a Friday. Honestly it doesn't matter. This one's a party.
