Rocky Point has always attracted musicians and bands from near and far to grace our shores. In relatively more recent years, the local music scene has burst across a growing number of stages and new venues around town.  In this lead up to Memorial Day weekend, it’s the perfect time to catch local musicians in all their glory from the beaches to cantinas.

Speaking of music, the South of the Border Songwriter’s Festival is about to hit town (Margarita Mermaids) and then we’ll get ready to pace ourselves for Circus Mexicus in early June.  So, pull up a chair – or get on your feet – grab a cerveza, and take in the varied sounds across this corner of the Sea of Cortez. Tip: To check out the local music scene, visit the FB group Rocky Point Live Music for ongoing updates. Rocky Point Live Music | Facebook
