Big Chill Beach Club sets stage for summer concerts

For the new summer season at Big Chill Beach Club, the stars have already started to align, bringing together sun, surf, sand and music for the Big Chill Summer Concert series. “What better way to enjoy our lineup of musicians from around the country than on a starry summer night at the beach?” said Jason Bradley, general manager for Delaware’s one-of-a-kind premier oceanfront venue in Bethany Beach.

This summer’s concerts will offer a wide variety of musical acts from around the country, made even more enjoyable thanks to the spectacular water views surrounding the beach club restaurant which opened to the public in September 2017. “It’s an amazing experience, whether you live at the beach or come here to visit,” said Bradley.

Big Chill will host beach rockers Wheeland Brothers Friday, July 6; country singer Eric Paslay Thursday, July 26; reggae band Pepper Wednesday, Aug. 8; and classic rockers Max Weinberg’s Jukebox Friday, Aug. 24.

Tickets are available online and at Big Chill Beach Club. For more information about Big Chill Beach Club Concert Series: www.bigchillbeachclub.com. Concert doors open at 7 p.m.; food and drinks are available until 10 p.m.

The sweeping 360-degree water views of the Atlantic Ocean, Indian River Inlet and Indian River Bay make the Big Chill Beach Club a unique scenic location. This multi-deck outdoor hospitality center is in Delaware Seashore State Park on the south side of the Indian River Inlet. It is an ideal place to enjoy a day or a night at the beach.

“Big Chill really is for everyone – families, groups of friends, singles and memorable date nights – anyone who wants a genuine beach night-out experience," said Bradley. “At dusk we have our sunset celebration, a toast to the day and all that has come with it. There’s nothing else like it anywhere in Delaware.” he said, referring to the unparalleled water views and nature’s wildlife.

In addition to the water views and wildlife sightings, the entertainment compound also boasts an unobstructed view of the landmark 2,600-foot-long Indian River Inlet bridge, bathed in cobalt blue lighting at night. With its overhead clearance of 45 feet, beach club visitors experience a nearly eye-level perspective of the towering structure. “The views any time of day are worth the short drive here,” said Bradley.

“Big Chill Beach Club reflects the laid-back beach lifestyle of its namesake, the Big Chill Surf Cantina in Rehoboth Beach. This is a place where you can chill out, brush off the sand and grab a seat to have a bite or a cold beer,” said Josh Grapski, managing partner for La Vida Hospitality Group. He said over 200,000 visitors were attracted to Big Chill Beach Club in 2017.

Summer 2018 marks the second year, and a full summer season, for this must-see destination which includes the Big Chill Event Deck. Locally managed by La Vida Hospitality Group, the flexible venue is designed to accommodate weddings, special events, and social and corporate functions. And lucky for music lovers, it’s also an ideal venue for outdoor summer concerts.

“We’ve purposely chosen a wide range of musical groups owing to the great diversity of guests who have discovered this incredible destination,” said brand manager Matt Garbutt. “Don’t miss out. I recommend reserving as soon as possible.”

Big Chill Beach Club is located 7 miles south of Dewey Beach on the Atlantic Ocean at the south side of Delaware Seashore State Park in North Bethany.  Parking is available at the Southside Indian River Inlet lot in the park.

Tickets for all events are now available at Big Chill Beach Club and online. For more information, go to www.bigchillbeachclub.com.
