Live Music, Jeep Events, and Seaplanes

Dockside hosts live music and special gatherings at its Castlewood Drive waterfront location. Past events have included Jeep gatherings, a holiday Lighted Jeep Parade, and a seaplane splash-in. Each event has its own schedule and participation details.

Check Dockside’s current calendar before choosing dates. The Seaplane Pilots Association listed the 2026 splash-in for August 1; future splash-in and Jeep-parade dates need confirmation from their organizers.
