Located in Mansfield, Georgia, just about an hour southeast of Atlanta, Bear Creek Marina has become a favorite destination for music lovers who want to enjoy great performances in a relaxed, lakeside setting. Whether you are a local looking for a fun Friday night out or a visitor exploring Jackson Lake for the weekend, our live music nights have long been one of the best ways to spend an evening at the lake.
Our live music nights have featured a variety of genres including country, rock, Southern rock, blues, and acoustic performances. We book artists who know how to connect with a crowd and create the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay all night. Shows take place on our outdoor stage with the lake just beyond, giving you a concert experience unlike anything you will find at a typical indoor venue.
Grab a spot on the deck and enjoy the show with friends, family, or that special someone. The restaurant and bar are temporarily closed for tornado repairs, so on-site food and drinks are not available during live music right now. When shows resume, cover charges will vary by event and performer.
Music programming returns with our restaurant reopening. Our schedule has always leaned toward the warm months, when the outdoor stage and lakefront seating are at their best. We announce performers and event dates on our social media pages and through our local event listings.
