COHASSET

Cohasset is a South Shore coastal town that hosts one of the region's most iconic summer concert venues under a big top tent.

South Shore Music Circus is a 2,200-seat tent-in-the-round that has operated since 1951, drawing national touring acts each summer. The intimate round format means every seat is close to the stage.

The Music Circus is a summer institution. Audiences are loyal, the setting is unique, and the round stage creates a connection between performer and audience that traditional venues lack.

Tip: The season runs June through September. Shows sell out — book early for popular acts. The venue is on Route 3A with ample parking.
