Surf City ending live concert series

PENDER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — After two years, the town of Surf City has decided to make changes when it comes to its Surf City Live concert series.

According to an announcement on the town’s Facebook page, concerns over funding, sponsorship and staff involvement prompted Surf City Town Manager, Kyle Breuer, to decide to not move forward with the 2024 event and focus on other tourism related opportunities.

The statement issued by the town reads, “The last two years, national acts have come to Surf City and put on unforgettable experiences for all that were in attendance. The town hosting a ticketed event at this scale is no small feat, and the operations were to the standard in which we all expect from our town. Overwhelmingly, the feedback from those that attended were positive.”

At this point, it is unclear what type of event might replace Surf City Live.
