Live Music at Bear Creek Marina on Jackson Lake

Bear Creek Marina is one of the best places to enjoy live music on Jackson Lake. Throughout the spring, summer, and fall seasons, we host regular live music events featuring talented local and regional artists who perform right on our waterfront stage. With the natural beauty of Jackson Lake as the backdrop and great food and drinks from the Bear Creek Restaurant, our live music nights are an experience you will not want to miss.

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 events are the perfect way to spend an evening at the lake.

What to Expect at a Bear Creek Music Night

Our live music events feature 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 typically 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 table on the deck, order your favorite meal from the restaurant menu, and enjoy the show with friends, family, or that special someone. Our full-service bar keeps the drinks flowing with ice-cold beer, cocktails, and specialty drinks. There is no cover charge for most of our live music events, making it an affordable and unforgettable night out on Jackson Lake.

Upcoming Events and Schedule

Our live music schedule changes seasonally, with more frequent shows during the warm months when the outdoor stage and lakefront seating are at their best. We announce upcoming performers and event dates on our social media pages and through our local event listings. For the latest schedule, follow Bear Creek Marina on Facebook and Instagram, or give us a call at (770) 787-9621 to find out who is playing next.
