2. Pier Park Concert Series

The Buzz -- Every Thursday between Memorial Day and Labor Day, when the area bustles with tourists and locals, the city sponsors this free concert series. Held at the Pier Park Amphitheatre, across from the Panama City Pier, the concerts feature local and regional performers. From beach music to jazz to zydeco, music lovers can delight in a spate of sounds. Be sure to bring a lawn chair or blanket and a picnic for this fun and festive evening.
