What if you traded your usual Fourth of July barbecue for morning cold plunges, 20+ hours of house music, and a two-day stay at a waterfront resort? Produced by One of Us Events, Summer is Calling returns for its second year at SkyBeach Resort (6800 Sunshine Skyway Ln S), offering an immersive holiday weekend that balances fireworks and dancing with actual downtime. Tickets are available now.
On July 4 and 5, the 48-hour event transforms the St. Pete resort into a full-on escape where everything happens in one place. You’re not just popping in for a set and heading home; you’re settling in for the weekend. With options including a two-night stay or a weekend pass, you can choose how deep to dive – but the full experience means staying on-site and waking up steps from the music.
A 48-hour house music takeover on the beach
House music day and night
Summer is Calling is all about the music, but it’s not rushed or overcrowded like a typical festival. Expect more than 20 hours of house, Afro house, and melodic house spread across two days, creating a steady, easygoing flow from day to night.
The lineup hasn’t been announced yet, but the focus here is the vibe. It’s less about rushing between sets and more about relaxing into an atmosphere that feels effortless. Whether that means dancing all afternoon or posting up poolside with a drink in hand, the experience unfolds at whatever pace you choose, with the waterfront never far away.
Mix pool time, beach volleyball, and wellness into your weekend
More than just the music
What sets this weekend apart is everything happening beyond the speakers. Between sets, you can reset with on-site wellness programming, from cold plunges and sauna sessions to morning and sunset yoga.
It’s a choose-your-own-adventure kind of energy: start your day slow, spend the afternoon by the water, then ease into the evening as the music ramps back up. Add in an on-site vendor market, art, and pop-up experiences, and there’s always something to check out when you’re ready for a change of pace.

A resort with all the views
A big part of the appeal is the setting itself. The newly renovated SkyBeach Resort isn’t just hosting the event—it’s part of it, with private beach access, two private pools, and performance spaces woven across the property. Getting there can be part of the experience, too: you can arrive by car or boat, with slips available to book in advance.
When you’re not dancing, you’ve got options: beachside drinks, Mediterranean dining, paddleboards, pickleball, beach volleyball, and plenty of space to unwind. There’s also an on-site coffee shop for slow mornings (and pick-me-ups!), along with VIP bottle service available throughout the venue. The views of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge don’t hurt either, especially as the sun dips and the energy shifts into the nighttime sets.
Make the Fourth a mini vacation
Summer is Calling is for anyone looking to make the most of Independence Day weekend. Whether you go all in with a two-night stay or opt for a weekend pass, the idea is the same: low-pressure, high-reward, and intentionally removed from the usual routine.
