The Hollywood Beach Theater is what brings the boardwalk to life. The theater is located at the very end of the boardwalk, and you can hear the live music as soon as you turn the corner to walk towards the boardwalk, aka the other side. This theater offers free admission at all times. You may sit on the bleachers, to enjoy the view, you may stand and dance right in front of the band. The stage presence was always complete with excellent musicians covering hits from the 60s to today. You'll find fun, colorful lights and haze effects, feeling like you're at an actual concert. The theatre will typically bring live music every evening from 7:00 to 9:00. read more

Since the 70's, I have been coming with my friends to the Hollywood beach and hanging out on the "broadwalk" not "boardwalk" since its blacktop and not wooden which is common confusion with some locals and tourists alike. Big changes here since the 1970's especially the mass tourism and the open alcoholic container laws. The broadwalk is old school dubbed the "Hollywood Bandshell" and now officially named the Hollywood Beach Theatre. Ten years ago the Margaritaville Hotel was constructed and leased and manages the theatre. Sandy floor bathrooms open to the public. Now I come here with my wife to listen to live free music at the oceanfront amplitheater Wednesday thru Sunday nights. We eat pizza at Rocco's Pizzeria while watching interesting characters dance. read more

One of the most beloved features of the Hollywood Broadwalk is the Hollywood Beach Theatre. This oceanside performance stage was built by Hollywood founder and real estate developer Joseph Young in 1924. Young built a three-sided band shell in a frame vernacular style to provide free entertainment for visitors. Back then it was called the Theater under the Stars. Today the Hollywood Beach Theatre is the only seaside venue of its kind in Broward County. This unique outdoor theatre has seating for 500. The theatre features a diverse range of genres, including rock, R&B, blues, and Latin music five nights a week from Wednesday through Sunday from 7 to 9 p.m. Parking is available a short distance away at the Margaritaville Garage for a few dollars per hour. On the day I visited, Making Faces, a rocking reggae band was performing at 7 PM. I love that you can enjoy music and dancing at the beach for free. There is also a variety of places to grab something to eat and drink on the broadwalk. The Hollywood Beach Theatre is the perfect place for an inexpensive date night or family friendly outing. read more

Forgot to add this well deserved Hollywood landmark to Yelp. Totally free live music at the bandshell on the Hollywood Beach boardwalk. Dancing with my hubby to the retro rock music then sit on the metal bleachers and watch the band as others dance. Really fun time during the winter months but not a fan of sweating in the humid summer nights. Lots of little places to eat around the bandshell or dip your toes into the ocean. read more

This is a very nice area on the Hollywood beach broadwalk with free live music Wednesday - Sunday nights from 7-9pm every week. Located right next to the Margaritaville hotel with many restaurants, bars, and shops around this area. The area is always fairly busy with people out having a good time. There is alcohol being served and people are partying, but the area feels very safe. There is also bench type seating available in front of the stage. There are different types of music each night and many of the bands I have seen perform put on a great show- I highly recommend seeing Mason Pace and that anyone in the Hollywood or dania beach areas check this theatre out! Tip- Margaritaville posts the monthly music schedule on their website to see which bands will be performing. read more

Seems nice enough. Decent stage that's well painted. Like the variety of colors, and so good it's on the "Broadwalk". One day will get used to saying that. Today was a kids show, but a couple back was a pretty good musician with Central American beats. It definitely made the boardwalk area more fun. It's right in the heart of this shared path. With views of the beach and ocean behind it, the challenge is being distracted by that or the sun. As for the sound system, it was okay. It's an opinion but I wish they'd hook it up a bit. This could be a way to compromise with local businesses music. If you're in the area, it's worth spending some time here. read more

This is one of my absolute favorite places to spend a fun and free evening on the beach. Every Wednesday through Sunday from 7-9pm (weather permitting) there is live music for audiences to enjoy. I have been coming to watch the music here for a few years now and even when the music is of a style I don't particularly like, I always still enjoy myself. In front of the stage there is a large area that is normally filled with happy beach goers dancing to the music. Right behind that open area there are a few benches available for seating, but if you don't arrive early enough to get seat you can always bring your own chair or blanket to set up a space to sit! There are vendors offering a small selection of adult beverages and you can also grab a drink or snack from any of the restaurants along the Broadwalk to enjoy while grooving to the music. If you would like to find out what band is playing for the evening, you can check the music calendar at https://www.margaritavillehollywoodbeachresort.com/live-entertainment-schedule/ . This is a completely free and outdoor venue so please do not be surprised if your visit isn't always perfect. Every now and then you may get sprinkled on by some rain here in South Florida! I have been to shows where the weather was not perfect (rain, wind, etc.) and the band continued to play for everyone. On the flipside of that, if it does start pouring rain or there is thunder and lightning, they will end the show. Other things that can bother some people about an outdoor venue; smoking. I have regularly experienced people around me smoking cigarettes but don't worry! There is plenty of space for you to move away from them and find a fresh air. You can also still hear the music very well if you chose to leave the front of the venue and sit on the beach! Because the venue is located directly in the middle of the Hollywood Broadwalk, every now and then you'll run into few very intoxicated people. If the area ever gets a bit too rowdy, there are multiple police officers stationed around the stage during the show to ensure everyone stays safe. Please do not let any of those negatives I mention scare you from checking out this wonderful venue! You truly cannot beat live music, with great production and sound, that is also only a few steps from the sand and beach! I highly suggest adding a trip here for the live music to your Hollywood Beach Bucket list! read more

Good music, free shows, and a vibe that is rare. I have been to Hollywood beach a million times. For the longest time there was a stage on the beach that was rarely used it seemed. But it was still a marker for a point of interest to aim for on the beach. But when the new resort was built next to it, the stage became a spot that was an energy spot for the whole beach. 4 or 5 times in a row? I would visit the beach in the evening and there would be a music act charming an audience. Sometimes newer covers and sometimes old hits are played. But always there is a large group of tourists and locals liking the scene. There is plenty of chairs for those wanting to sit, and a large area for those wanting to shake it a little or salsa cuando un canción de salsa está jugando. There are many pluses to Hollywood beach. The stage is one of them for sure. read more
