Taylor Swift party, Dave Matthews tribute and more light up the beaches
Locals along the beach traditionally consider the last weekend in June to be the calm before the Fourth of July storm. Tourists sometimes stay home and save their money before Independence Day, which is also when the summer season really kicks into high gear. However, concert venues along the coast already have entertainment programs as hot as the recent weather.
