Your event is NOT listed on the largest Beach Music Calendar on Flip Flop Live
We’re seeing it more and more that events are being shared in a flyer or poster in a Facebook post. This does get some attention but it can easily be lost in the sea of posts on the various Beach Music groups and even your own page and if people aren’t members of these groups they never see the posts. People are busier than ever and they’re looking for a fast and easy way to see where their favorite events are being held. We have a simple solution for you and we handle everything in a few easy steps.
Flip Flop Live Calendar Management - How It Works:
Email us your event details

We understand the time and dedication it takes to properly manage online calendar events and how to get you the best results including keywords, tags and providing as much information as possible to your fans. This not only helps you and your brand but the entire Beach Music community by making your information easily accessible to the people who love it most.

Sadly we received news from Hopewell, Virginia earlier this morning. The Hopewell Moose Lodge 1472
was a total loss from a fire that started in the early morning hours. Thankfully no employees or lodge
members were inside of the structure and no injuries were reported.
The Hopewell Moose has supported their community for years through various events along with supporting
the Beach Music community. They've hosted various bands throughout the years along with the Central VA
Junior Shaggers.
If we receive further information we will be sure to update you on that. Our thoughts and prayers are with
the lodge members, their families and those affected within the community by this sad news.
March is upon us and that means you will begin to see all of the outdoor Summer series schedules posted.
We've added several to our calendar already including:
Alive at Five in Morehead City, NC
Downtown Clayton in Clayton, NC
Lake Life Live in Clarksville, VA
Mount Holly Concert Series in Mount Holly, NC
