These are the writers behind hits recorded by artists like Garth Brooks\, Faith Hill\, and Jason Aldean — and at Blast\, you hear the version of the song that existed before the rest of the world ever did. \nHow the weekend works\nIt all starts Thursday night\, October 15\, with the VIP Welcome Party and Opening Show at George Core Park in Port St. Joe — artists arriving in town and old friends reconnecting to kick off the weekend. Friday through Sunday\, performances run across intimate venues all over town. A wristband is required for entry to scheduled performances\, so buy tickets ahead — check the official Blast on the Bay site for the venue schedule as it firms up. \nWhere to stay for Blast on the Bay\nMake it a long weekend on the coast. A Collins Vacation Rental on SGI puts you about 30 minutes from Port St. Joe’s venues — festival days on the mainland\, quiet beach mornings on St. George Island. Book direct with the local island team and beat the October crowds. \nFAQ\nWhen is Blast on the Bay 2026?\nOctober 15–18\, 2026\, across venues in Port St. Joe and Gulf County\, Florida. \nHow much are Blast on the Bay tickets?\nGeneral admission is $35\, VIP is $125\, and Super VIP for two is $500\, sold through Eventbrite.
