Rockin’ Oldies Beach Party Boys Lunch and Dinner Shows

September 15-18, 2025 | The Beach Party Boys are in their 10th year of non-stop touring. They have been described as the Ultimate Beach Party coming to life! The show is fast paced and interactive with a focus on lots of nostalgia to awaken the teenage hearts of all those who carried a Transistor Radio in the 60’s! The authentic look, musical instrumentation, and detailed harmony of the Beach Boys are reproduced with a spot on representation of the real deal.

Audiences will be singing along to their favorite songs like Barbara Ann, Help Me Rhonda, Surfin’ USA, Little Deuce Coupe, and Good Vibrations – the number ONE SONG OF ALL TIME! Not to mention other classics by Jan and Dean – California Sun by The Rivieras – and classics from the iconic Pet Sounds album like Sloop John B, Wouldn’t It Be nice and God Only Knows. Beach Party Boys are the ULTIMATE BEACH PARTY!
