BIG BEAR LAKE, CA – The City of Big Bear Lake is excited to announce the highly anticipated lineup for the 2026 Summer Concert Series. This is the fourth year that the City has partnered with Visit Big Bear to bring free concerts to Big Bear Lake throughout the summer, spanning from June to September, and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever!

Each free concert will feature two bands, a beer garden operated by a local nonprofit organization, and games for the whole family to enjoy. All concerts will begin at 6:00 PM and will be held at the corner of Village Drive and Pine Knot Avenue in the heart of The Village, with the exception of Punk Night, which will be held at Big Bear Mountain Resort’s Moonridge Lot at 5:30 PM. Since parking in The Village is limited, the City encourages attendees to utilize free transportation from Mountain Transit via the Red, Blue and Gold Lines.

“This year’s incredible lineup reflects the City’s commitment to bringing first class entertainment to Big Bear Lake. While most other cities’ concerts feature tribute bands, we have successfully shifted to a focus on original music, bringing a mix of popular bands that everyone knows and loves as well as innovative aspiring artists, increasing the caliber of talent every year. The Summer Concert Series provides free entertainment for all ages to enjoy, enhancing the quality of life for locals and our visitors,” said City Manager Erik Sund.
