Live Music at Bear Creek Marina on Jackson Lake
Bear Creek Marina has hosted live music on Jackson Lake for years, with talented local and regional artists performing right on our waterfront stage and the natural beauty of the lake as the backdrop. The Bear Creek Restaurant is temporarily closed for tornado repairs, and music programming returns with our restaurant reopening. Private event hosts are welcome to bring their own musicians or DJ in the meantime.
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.
What to Expect at a Bear Creek Music Night
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.
When Live Music Returns
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. Follow Bear Creek Marina on Facebook and Instagram, or give us a call at (770) 787-9621 for the latest.
Private Events with Live Music
Planning a private event and want live entertainment? You are welcome to bring your own musicians or DJ for your celebration. Our covered waterfront patio, deck, and lawn give your performers a lakeside setting your guests will remember, and amplified sound wraps up by 10 PM.
Make a Night of It
Why leave after the show? Extend your evening into a full lakeside getaway by staying at our campground with RV hookups. Arrive early and spend the day fishing from our boat launch, paddling a kayak, or relaxing by the water. Then as the sun sets over Jackson Lake, settle in for an evening on the water, with music and food returning to Bear Creek when our restaurant reopens.
