This summer, many Cape May venues offered outdoor live music performances. Our seaside village is now a mecca for Cape May music lovers looking to enjoy live entertainment outside on the gorgeous Jersey Shore. This trend continues through early fall with these upcoming events.
Book your room at The Queen Victoria.

Carney’s
With live music four nights a week, Carney’s is a music haven in Cape May. It’s just around the corner from the Queen Victoria, making it very convenient and easy to get to. Seating is limited, so it’s best to arrive early to get a table. Because performances are live outdoors, music can be clearly heard by those strolling along the promenade or sitting on a bench nearby. Regular musical acts are:
- Tuesdays: Juliano Brothers Band
- Fridays: Sindi Raymond Band
- Saturdays: Tri-State area’s best cover bands
- Sundays: JB Rocks
We’re so excited to welcome you to The Queen Victoria this late summer and early fall in Cape May. It’s a lovely time of year on the beautiful Jersey Shore, so we hope you’ll join us for some fabulous Cape May live music and much more!
