Catalina Museum for Art & History will host Yacht Rock Night at the Museum on Saturday, July 12, 2025, from 6 to 9 p.m., offering a relaxed summer evening of live music, island atmosphere and community connection on the museum’s outdoor plaza.

This year’s event will feature a live DJ set by Les Akers, blending iconic yacht rock tracks from the 1970s and ’80s into a seamless summer soundtrack. Guests are encouraged to bring a picnic, unwind, and take in the laid-back atmosphere as the sun sets over Avalon.

“Our goal is always to create experiences that bring people together, and few things do that better than great music in a beautiful setting,” Kellie Costello, Director of Visitor Services, Programs & Events at Catalina Museum for Art & History, said. “Yacht Rock Night is the perfect chance to unwind and connect, whether you’re a local or visiting for the weekend.”
