The Seabreeze Jazz Festival is set to return to Panama City Beach from April 23-26 2026, bringing four days of live music, major performers, and beachside energy back to the area.
JazzIZ Magazine announced Seabreeze Jazz Festival as one of the top jazz festivals in the country and has also earned recognition at the Oasis Smooth Jazz Awards as the Best Jazz Festival.
Seabreeze Jazz Festival Panama City Beach lineup spans four days.
This year’s event includes a full schedule of nationally known artists across Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The lineup features smooth jazz favorites along with crossover acts that help make the festival one of the most talked-about spring music events in the region.
Among the performers listed for the festival are Kirk Whalum, Mindi Abair, Commodores, Jonathan Butler, Rick Braun, Richard Elliot, Peter White, Will Downing, and Dave Koz & Friends Summer Horns. Morris Day and the Time are also scheduled to appear during the Thursday lineup.
Visit Panama City Beach says the festival now attracts more than 20,000 fans from the United States, Canada, and Europe, making it both a music draw and a tourism event for the destination.
Why the festival matters locally
For Panama City Beach, an event like Seabreeze is about more than concerts. It helps bring visitors to the area during the spring season, supports hotels and restaurants, and adds another high-profile event to the local calendar.
That kind of traffic matters for the community and for businesses that benefit when visitors stay, dine, shop, and extend their time along the coast.
It also gives local residents a chance to experience a nationally recognized event close to home without leaving Bay County.
