Vibe-Rations Music Festival

Catch the vibe at Vilano Beach’s biggest party of the year! Vibe-Rations 2025 hits the stage on Saturday, October 18th, from 10:45 a.m. to 6:45 p.m., transforming the east-facing parking lot of the Hampton Inn & Suites into a beachside celebration of music, food, and community.

This year’s lineup promises a truly unforgettable experience. Headlining the festival is The Bad Endings, a local classic rock powerhouse whose members have shared the stage with music legends. They’ll be joined by very special guest Mike Reno, the iconic lead singer of the multi-platinum band Loverboy, known for chart-topping hits like “Working for the Weekend,” “Turn Me Loose,” and the beloved duet with Ann Wilson, “Almost Paradise.” Also performing throughout the day are Billy Greer, former lead singer of Kansas; Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, formerly of The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan; as well as Brothers Futch, Those Guys, Money for Nothing, and the Dewey Via Band.

Festival-goers will enjoy a lively beachside atmosphere complete with gourmet food trucks, a 7-tap beer truck pouring both local and national brews, wine, signature cocktails, and a full bloody mary bar. VIP Experience tickets range from $75–$90 while supplies last, and include access to tented and open-air seating, air-conditioned restrooms, and a VIP-only liquor bar. Guests will also enjoy the exclusive opportunity to meet and mingle with musicians between sets. Parking passes for valet service at the Hyatt are available for $15 and must be purchased in advance through the ticket link. Availability is limited, so early purchase is encouraged.

Outside of the VIP area, the event is completely free and open to the public. Guests can enjoy the music, food trucks, drink vendors, and access to restrooms and a kid-friendly craft and play area. The event is both kid and pet friendly—guests are encouraged to bring their own chairs and settle in for a great time (no coolers, please). To make getting to and from the festival even easier, a free shuttle will run continuously throughout the day along Vilano Road and the Vilano Town Center area.

This exceptional musical experience is brought to the community by Vilano Beach Main Street, in partnership with the St. Johns County Tourist Development Council, and the St. Johns Cultural Council.
