In what’s become a huge event in the community, the 7th annual Bayville Fest is happening June 24th at B2 Bistro!
The event, started back in 2016 will see the likes of over 10 performers take the stage at B2 Bistro. The club is located on the waterfront at 125 Bayview Avenue in Bayville. Bayville Fest is presented by Verse, and will run all day, into the night. From 12 noon until 10pm, there will be live music from the likes of Badfish and others. So prepare for a long day and get ready to rock out!
What started as a DIY backyard show has now evolved into an event you won’t want to miss. This year it’s the biggest lineup in the Reggae Rock scene yet. Bayville VII will be moving from the backyard to a beautiful local bayside venue called B2 Bistro & Bar. Along with some great music, you’ll also enjoy majestic views of Barnegat Bay, amazing food and drinks, and Tiki Bar.
The price of admission is quite reasonable, considering the amount of live music presented over a 10 hour time span. 50 dollars in advance, and 60 dollars at the door. Moreover, there had been 100 dollar VIP tickets available, which included access to B2 Bistro’s inground pool. However, those were quickly snatched up when the event first went on sale and are now sold out.
However, a wonderful day will still be had when you attend the 7th iteration of Bayville Fest! To purchase tickets go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bayville-fest-vii-tickets-509417029047?fbclid=IwAR3Pvbzp9ukuv2XDR04LM4NBol-_J0T9pDikXg4vpOXW_CX0epjjRpNH2vs

Badfish - The Ultimate Tribute To Sublime
