What to expect at this year's bash

The JAX Chamber Beaches Division lists tastings from area restaurants, a silent auction, entertainment and a bar among the evening's activities. The chamber also promoted an interactive photo booth in a Sept. 21 post on X.

Ticket prices for the 2026 event had not been posted as of publication. Last year's bash charged $40 for JAX Chamber members and $50 for nonmembers, with two drink tickets included. The 2025 event featured tastings from Bonefish Grill, Bubba Koo's, 4R Smokehouse and Fogo de Chao, with Baptist Medical Center Beaches and Courtyard by Marriott-Oceanfront among the sponsors.

About the chamber's Beaches Division

The chamber calls the Beach Bash the signature celebration for the Beaches Division, which represents businesses across Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach. The division is part of the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce.

The division gathers monthly for a luncheon on the second Thursday and a morning networking event called Coffee on the Coast on the third Thursday.
