Moon Crush Pink Moon 2023 illuminated Seascape Resort in Miramar Beach, Florida, offering an unforgettable musical escape from April 20th to 23rd. The long weekend kicked off its third year, promising a musical escape unlike any other. Attending for the second time (see post from 2022 Moon Crush), flying from Chicago to immerse myself in this four-day extravaganza, I was once again swept away by the magic of this unique event.

Curated for music lovers seeking more than just a festival, Moon Crush is a Music Vacation—a perfect blend of relaxation and pulsating melodies. The lineup read like a dream, featuring powerhouse headliners such as JJ Grey & MOFRO, Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, The Avett Brothers, and The Black Crowes. With additional performances by Elle King and Fitz & The Tantrums, the musical diversity was exhilarating, catering to a range of tastes and ensuring each day was a sonic adventure.

The Setting

The Seascape Resort served as a picturesque backdrop, enhancing the overall experience with its breathtaking vistas. The seamless fusion of nature, music, and community created an ambiance that was nothing short of enchanting.

What sets Moon Crush apart is it’s not just a festival; it’s a Music Vacation. Days were spent soaking up the Florida sun at the beach or lounging by the resort pool, surrounded by friends and cherished company. As the evening hues painted the sky, the main event unfolded in an open-air venue.

Its an intimate setting with a maximum seating capacity of 5000. The venue allowed ample space to groove, dance, and sing along under the starlit sky. The live performances fostered an intimate connection between the artists and the audience. Reserved spaces ensured comfort amidst the crowd.

As I returned to Chicago, the memories of Moon Crush lingered like a melodic refrain, a testament to its magic and allure.
