The Mad Beach BOATSTOCK is a floating music festival in Madeira Beach set to take place on Saturday, May 28, 2022. This festival is the creation of two friends who, after sharing a beer in early 2020, decided to pursue the saltwater dream.
Local resident Bob Burnett said, in May 2020, the ultimate social distancing event would be a concert where people could quarantine on their boats and still party a safe distance from other boats. 11 Days after his initial idea boaters were doing just that.

Guests can enjoy live music from the comfort of their own vessel; however, It wasn’t just boats that popped up at the inaugural event. Paddle boarders, kayakers, and more pulled up to share in the Sunshine State experience.
