Live Music is Better
– Neil Young
2026 LIVE MUSIC
We have lots of Lucca Beer Garden FAVORITES on the calendar for 2026, and some really great new artists too, so stay tuned for NEW ARTIST ALERTS throughout the year!
🧡A Small Live Music Update 🧡
First and always — thank you. Your support over the years has allowed us to build something really special here, and we’re so grateful for this community.
Beginning Thursday 3/19, we will be introducing a $5 live music fee for guests 21+ during shows.
As many of you know, producing live music comes with significant behind-the-scenes costs —, equipment, staffing, and overall event operations. This small fee simply helps us sustain and continue growing the experience.
We also want to be transparent: our bands are paid separately through pre-arranged agreements. This fee is not a gratuity for performers, but rather supports the overall production that makes live music possible here.
We will still have a tip jar available if you’d like to share a little extra love directly with the band — they always appreciate your support. 🎶If you’ve been with us from the early days, you’ve seen how much this space has grown. Our goal is to keep live music thriving for years to come.
And as a thank you, we’ll still be offering free live music during some of our larger annual events.
We appreciate you more than you know and look forward to many more great nights together.
