For more than 20 years, Beatlemania Again has performed at sold-out venues throughout the United States and Canada. The production follows the Beatles’ remarkable career chronologically, beginning with the energy and tailored black suits of their historic 1964 appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
The journey then moves into the psychedelic colors and groundbreaking music of the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band era before arriving at the group’s later recordings and famous 1969 rooftop performance atop Apple Corps headquarters.
More than 30 Beatles favorites are performed live throughout the show, accompanied by three major costume changes and authentic period-style instruments. Hofner basses, Rickenbacker and Gretsch guitars, Vox amplifiers, and Black Oyster Pearl Ludwig drums help recreate both the look and unmistakable sound of the 1960s.
The show is designed as a musical journey through the Beatles’ evolution, with each chapter recreating a distinct period in the band’s history.
Relive the excitement of the Beatles’ arrival in America, complete with the familiar suits, early instruments, youthful energy, and songs that launched a worldwide phenomenon.
The stage transforms with vibrant costumes and psychedelic style as the music enters one of the most imaginative and influential periods in popular music history.
The final chapter celebrates the band’s mature sound, later recordings, and unforgettable rooftop farewell with music from the closing years of the Beatles’ career.
The Summer Beach Jam is Ventnor’s Saturday-night summer concert series, bringing free live entertainment to the S. Newport Avenue band stage near the beach and boardwalk. With the Atlantic Ocean only steps away, it offers one of the most distinctly Ventnor ways to spend a summer evening.
Food and craft vendors begin welcoming visitors at 5:30 PM while the performers complete their sound check. Live music begins at 6:30 PM, giving concertgoers plenty of time to choose a spot, explore the vendors, pick up dinner or a snack, and settle in before the show.
“A timeless soundtrack, an ocean breeze, and a summer evening on the beach—this is what Saturday nights in Ventnor are all about.”
No Summer Beach Jam is complete without the food and craft vendors who help bring the boardwalk to life before the music begins. From shore favorites and refreshing treats to handmade goods created by local makers, the vendor area adds another layer to an already memorable night.
The Ventnor Business Association is proud to help connect residents and visitors with the businesses that make these community events possible. Every purchase, conversation, brochure, menu, or business card exchanged helps introduce another person to the people behind Ventnor’s small-business community.
Bring your family, meet up with friends, support Ventnor’s local vendors, and enjoy a free concert beside the Atlantic. Beatlemania Again takes the stage at 6:30 PM on Saturday, August 1, at the S. Newport Avenue boardwalk stage.
