Peggy Hughes Summer Concert Series OIB

What Is the Peggy Hughes Summer Concert Series?
The Peggy Hughes Summer Concert Series is one of the most beloved free community events on the North Carolina coast, hosted each summer by the Town of Ocean Isle Beach. Every Friday evening from late May through early September, Town Center Park comes alive with live music, lawn chairs, and the relaxed energy that makes OIB a favorite summer destination. The series is free and open to the public, making it the perfect addition to any beach vacation — whether you're a local or visiting for the week. With a different performer or genre each week, there's something for everyone across the full summer season.
