Join us this summer for live music every Saturday from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at 5506′, the highest bar in Eastern America at Beech Mountain Resort.
Take a scenic chairlift ride to the top and spend the afternoon enjoying live outdoor music, panoramic mountain views, and a full bar at 5506′. While you’re there, grab a bite from Claudia’s Authentic Mexican Grill, serving authentic wood fired Mexican fare at the summit.
This free music series is open to everyone. The only cost is the scenic lift ride to reach the top of the mountain.
Important notes for guests:
• There is no parking at the summit. Guests must take the scenic lift ride to access 5506′.
• Music takes place outdoors at the summit.
• In the event of rain, performances move to the Taproom in the village.
Come ride the lift, take in the views, and enjoy live music above the clouds every Saturday at 5506′.
