If you are looking for things to do in Williamsburg this spring and summer, you just found them. Busch Gardens Williamsburg has officially announced its 2026 live concert series, and it is shaping up to be one of the most exciting lineups we’ve seen in years. Whether you are a local or you are currently moving to Williamsburg VA, this series is a staple of the local lifestyle.

What to Expect at the 2026 Concert Series

This year, the park is leaning heavily into pop, rock, and hip-hop nostalgia. The concerts are held on select Saturdays at 7:00 PM in the Royal Palace Theatre. One of the best perks for residents and visitors alike is that these full-length, 60-minute performances are included with any form of park admission.

The 2026 schedule includes:

• May 2: Hip-hop superstar Flo Rida kicks things off.
• May 16: The Pop 2000 Tour, featuring Chris Kirkpatrick, Ryan Cabrera, and O-Town.
• May 30: Rockers Hoobastank take the stage for their 25th anniversary.
• June 13: Hard rock favorites Skillet close out the currently announced dates.

Pair Music with the Food & Wine Festival

The concert series runs alongside the fan-favorite Food & Wine Festival. This event features over 150 internationally inspired sips and bites across 18 themed locations. In 2026, the park is even introducing new menus from Poland and China. It is the perfect way to spend a Saturday, grab a unique dinner, ride a few coasters, and then head over to the theater for a show.

Planning Your Visit

For those who want a guaranteed spot without the wait, the park offers reserved and VIP seating upgrades starting at $9.99. This is a great option if you are planning to spend the whole day hitting the rides, like the newly reimagined Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge, and don’t want to worry about racing for a seat at 7:00 PM.

If you are in the middle of a military relocation to our area, getting a park pass is one of the first things I recommend. It’s a fantastic way for families to get plugged into the community and enjoy world-class entertainment right in our backyard.
