On Saturday night, the energy shifts to high-concept rock with Pink Talking Fish. This "hybrid tribute" fusion act is known for seamlessly weaving together the catalogs of Pink Floyd, The Talking Heads, and Phish, creating a unique sonic experience for jam-band enthusiasts.

The weekend closes on a sophisticated note with Symphony by the Sea. On Sunday, May 3, the ensemble presents its season finale, "Sketches of Spain," starting at 3:00 p.m.

Comedy and Community at Off Cabot

Just around the corner, Off Cabot continues to serve as Beverly’s hub for improv and emerging talent. The week starts on Monday with "Search Your Feelings," a Star Wars–inspired improv workshop designed for "aspiring galactic knights."

Mid-week highlights include:

The weekend at Off Cabot features a celebratory hometown performance by Froggy & The Friendship on Friday, followed by a Saturday night set from The Voice finalist Morgan Myles.
