Summer Vibes Return with Family-Friendly Concert Series in Old Orchard Beach, Maine

Get ready for a summer filled with music, memories, and fun for all ages! This 7-week concert series is making a return to The Ballpark in Old Orchard Beach, and you won’t want to miss a beat.

In the 1990s, the Ballpark at Old Orchard Beach was a popular concert venue that hosted some big names, including Meatloaf, Moody Blues, Spin Doctors, Steve Miller Band, John Mellencamp, Aerosmith and New Kids on the Block. Sadly the music at the Ballpark dies on the final show with 311 in 1997.

Though not the superstars we saw at the Ballpark in the 90s, the entire lineup every Wednesday evening from July 2 through August 14 is all tribute bands, which is the next best thing. Each show runs from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, with gates opening at 5:00 PM to let the good times roll in early.

This summer’s lineup includes:

Wednesday, July 2 – Chris Stapleton Tribute

Thursday,  July 10 – Queen Tribute

Thursday, July 17 – Bruce Springsteen Tribute

Thursday, July 24 – Elton John Tribute

Thursday, July 31 – Billy Joel Tribute

Thursday, August 7 – Taylor Swift Tribute

Thursday, August 14 – Classic Rock Orchestra

Tickets are just $15 at the gate, while kids 12 and under get in free, making this a perfect outing for families. Want to catch all the shows and save? Season passes are available for $75 and can be purchased online.

The Ballpark’s concession stand and beer barn will be open each night, serving up local craft beers, wine, ciders, and all your favorite ballpark snacks.

There are some picnic tables available for seating, but guests are encouraged to bring their own blankets or lawn chairs.

Mark your calendars and bring the whole crew. This summer is going to sound amazing!
