• About the Event

The ultimate DANCE party on the water

/ 14 March 2026

Beneath the golden skies of Daytona Beach, Sun Drop Festival transforms Manatee Island into a radiant paradise of sound, color, and connection. Surrounded by shimmering waterways and palm-lined paths, this spring break celebration fuses iconic live acts such as Dynamix II, over 30 Djs including Huda Hudia, Monk, and many more, plus immersive art, and tropical island energy for a one-of-a-kind experience. Every beat, beam, and breeze carries the pulse of the coast — where music and nature move as one.

Step into a world alive with vibrant dance zones and spontaneous performances that ignite every corner of the island. Whether you’re dancing beneath the palms, cooling off by the water, or exploring interactive art zones, Sun Drop is where the rhythm never fades and the vibes stay high. Under the sun, we rise together — this is Sun Drop.
