Spring Break Music Lineup
Spring Break on South Padre Island has been a popular college destination for years now. Each year, thousands of college students make their way to the island for a variety of events in South Padre Island, including various musical performances from today’s biggest musical acts. This year is no different, as musical performances will be taking place daily at South Padre Island’s very own Clayton’s Beach Bar & Grill. For 2023 you can see hit acts such as Glorilla, Lil Wayne, Steve Aoki, Kodak Black, 311, and even Diesel aka Shaquille O’Neal. Clayton’s Beach Bar & Grill is a spacious venue, but far from the giant arenas these musical artists typically play. That means you can see a much more intimate performance than usual when you visit for Spring Break. Tickets are also reasonably priced and much cheaper than regular performances when these artists are on tour. Now you have multiple reasons to hit up Clayton’s during every day of your spring getaway.
Thursday Night Laughs
Make sure to show up for your South Padre Island getaway ready for some laughs as Thursday Night Laughs will be taking place all season long. This weekly comedy show will take place at Quarterdeck Lounge here on South Padre Island. Each week will have a 2-hour comedy show hosted by Raymond Orta that is guaranteed to have you reeling on the floor with laughter. You can even stay after the regular show hours to challenge the “Joke of the Night” that will allow you to win up to $100. Don’t miss out on this weekly event this spring!
St. Patrick’s Day at Kelly’s Irish Pub
Each spring you can join in on a worldwide celebration with St. Patrick’s Day. Everyone knows this famous holiday and is always best celebrated with friends nearby. You can join in on the fun when visiting during the spring by spending St. Patrick’s Day at Kelly’s Irish Pub.
