originally published: 06/12/2025

(KEANSBURG, NJ) -- The Bayzara Music Festival will debut September 6-7, 2025 on the beach in Keansburg.  Headlined by Vertical Horizon, Better Than Ezra and The Ataris, the festival also includes popular Jersey acts like Williams Honor and Dentist.

Bayzara is a two-day beachfront music festival bringing big energy to the Bayshore of New Jersey. Music, sun, and summer vibes.  The headliners will perform alongside top regional talent, acclaimed cover bands, and DJs, all across two days of live performances right on the sand.

What makes Bayzara truly special is its role in Keansburg’s growing cultural transformation. This historic Bayshore town has long been under the radar, but with its evolving arts scene, new venues, and revitalized energy, Bayzara marks a major leap forward — bringing the kinds of live music and cultural experiences the New Jersey's Bayshore hasn’t seen before.

General Admission tickets are $75 per day or $140 for the two days.  General Admission + with Premium Access and VIP tickets are also available. Tickets are available for purchase online.

Several food vendors will be on hand including Urban Burger, Carinderia, Hadez Food Truck, DonutNV with more to be announced.
