Jan & Dean’s Beach Party Takes the Route 66 Music Stage

Jan & Dean’s Beach Party Takes the Route 66 Music Stage

The Route 66 Beach Festival is not just racing. It is a full day at the beach, and the soundtrack just got a whole lot cooler. Jan & Dean’s Beach Party hits the Route 66 Music Stage on Saturday from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

Before the Beach Boys, There Was Jan & Dean

Jan & Dean’s Beach Party celebrates the iconic California surf culture of the 1960s and features founding member Dean Torrence, who collaborated with The Beach Boys in creating the legendary “California Sound.” This is the real deal, straight from the era that made beach music a thing.

What You Will Hear

Expect the retro beach vibes to be in full effect. The set includes Jan & Dean’s greatest hits like “Surf City,” classic Beach Boys covers, and a few rock and roll surprises. Sun, sand, and surf rock. It does not get much more on-theme than that.

Make a Day of It

Come for the music, stay for everything else: Beach Sprints racing all day, food trucks, local brews, beach games, and the best day outside all summer. Grab a spot on the sand, grab a cold one, and sing along.

Plan Your Visit

The festival runs 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, August 29-30, at Arcadia Lake in Edmond. It is a free festival; all you need is a $ 10-per-car lake pass. Catch Jan & Dean’s Beach Party Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m.
