📍Riverwalk Landing

With a career spanning decades, The Embers have released countless albums and hit singles that helped define the beach music genre. Inducted into both the South Carolina Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame and the South Carolina Beach Music Hall of Fame, they proudly carry the title of North Carolina’s Official Ambassadors of Music. Known for their feel-good sound and high-energy performances, The Embers bring joy to your step, love to your heart, and beach music straight to your soul.

At Yorktown’s Sounds of Summer Concert Series, warm sunsets, live music, and laid-back waterfront vibes set the tone for a perfect evening.

Every Thursday night, the York River comes alive with a new sound—from country and beach music to jazz, R&B, and more. Bring a lawn chair or blanket, slip off your shoes, and enjoy the breeze while food trucks serve up tasty bites and summer rhythms fill the air.

Arrive early to enjoy dinner or dessert from nearby waterfront favorites like Water Street Grille, Carrot Tree, or Ben & Jerry’s, then relax and settle in for a night of great music, good company, and memories made under the stars.

Guests are welcome to bring blankets, chairs, and small coolers. Tables, umbrellas, and tents are not permitted. A dance floor, friendly corn hole games, and rotating food trucks with to-go meals will be available.

Free parking is offered at designated public lots throughout town, including York Hall, York–Poquoson Courthouse, and the County Administration Building. The complimentary, ADA-accessible Yorktown Trolley runs from 5 to 9:30 p.m. during each concert, with a modified route that includes select stops on the outskirts of town.
