The countdown to Spring Break in Rocky Point continues. Passport? Check. Place to stay? Check? Now, what is there to do in Rocky Point over Spring Break? Seasoned “breakers” from over the years can tell you days are spent mostly on the beach (the Reef and Sandy Beach among the most popular…and who knows, maybe the old days at Manny’s Beach Club in the Mirador will return?) and nights are spent with amigos in and around Rocky Point’s popular beachside watering holes (maybe hanging out on the decks at JJs in Cholla Bay or watching a sunset from BooBar, Wrecked, or Caribbean Bay in the Malecon, or taking an afternoon dip in the pool at Pinky’s Dive or over at Baja Cantina in the Mirador).
This year, over St. Patrick’s Day weekend, which falls right smack in the middle of the various Arizona Spring Breaks, we’ve got concerts, DJs, and parties going on all over town. For an all-ages concert on March 17th, there will be no better place to be in northwestern Mexico than in front of Chango’s on Sandy Beach in Rocky Point for the St. Patricia’s Peñasco Palooza Music Festival! Dig deep into your albums (yeah, that’s right, I said albums) and pull out some of the classics including Boston, Aerosmith, Sammy Hagar, Eddie Money, and the Steve Miller Band just to name a few. Now imagine 8 platinum rock-stars from these groups singing tunes mixed with Rocky Point sand and sea. Let me help you get started….. “Some people call me the space cowboy….yeah…some call me the gangster of love…. ….I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time…Ooee baby I’ll sure show you a good time. ‘Cause I’m a picker, I’m a grinner, I’m a lover and I’m a sinner…I play my music in the sun. I’m a joker, I’m a smoker, I’m a midnight toker, I sure don’t want to hurt no one”.
Save the date! Steve McCarty of Steve Miller Band fame (Joker, Fly like an Eagle, JetAirliner, Rockin’ me Baby, etc. etc.) will be playing with other platinum artists at the March 17th Peñasco Palooza right by the beach and rocking to classic tunes starting at 5 p.m. and going up to about midnight. If you’re staying in any of the condo complexes along the Sandy Beach area you can even walk to the concert! The next day, plan to roll out of bed and head back to the stage by Chango’s for a DJ Spring Break Beach Party featuring DJ Skribble as seen on MTV, DJ Will Power, and many others.
So, get your tickets online now for Peñasco Palooza on March 17th (Keep on Rockin’ me baby….baby, baby, baby…keep on rockin’) and for the DJ Beach Party at: www.homeofthebraveconcerts.com
