The concerts combine live music with panoramic ocean views on the aquarium’s outdoor tide-pool plaza. Happy-hour appetizers, craft beers and wines are available for purchase. Guests are invited to keep an eye out for a real “green flash,” a rare optical phenomenon caused by refraction of light as the sun sets on the horizon.

Concerts are standing-room only. Admission includes the concert, entrance to aquarium exhibits and parking.
