Step right up for the 28th Annual Thunder By The Bay Music & Motors Festival—rolling into the Sarasota Fairgrounds, February 13-15, 2026! This three-day extravaganza is more than just a festival—it’s a celebration under the big top of sound, speed, and spectacle, all while raising funds for Suncoast Charities for Children.

Get ready for national headliners (visit website to stay updated) and a midway of nonstop fun—live music, dazzling vendors, roaring car & bike shows, a high-energy biker rodeo, the charity dice run, and surprises around every corner.

Bring the family, camp on-site, and soak in the magic of the midway atmosphere. For nearly three decades, Thunder By The Bay has raised over $3 million for programs that support children, teens, and adults with special needs—and this year promises to be the most spectacular yet!
