Scarborough Beach Weekender

Scarborough Beach Weekender is a two-day celebration of music, and community set against the beautiful Scarborough coastline. Guests can kick back, soak up live music, explore local culture, and enjoy unique attractions in a relaxed, welcoming vibe.

The festival also shines a spotlight on local businesses, with ticketed packages that turn a weekend of music into a full Scarborough escape. Tickets range from single-day to multi-day 'staycations' with VIP experiences and delicious gourmet food and wine. 

With quirky theming, and diverse programming, it’s a true celebration of the area’s vibrant identity.

Powered by home-grown producers Palace J Entertainment, this isn’t just another festival. We’re transforming the Scarborough Amphitheatre into a sun-soaked oasis where music, coastal energy, ocean views and good mates come together for one unreal weekend.
