Why Daytime Entertainment Is Trending

Let me tell you, as a millennial whose late night clubs days are in the past, I really like this idea of daytime entertainment. Imagine being able to break it down on the dance floor and still be able to go to bed at a decent hour. I'm in.

In fact, I know I'm not the only one. In addition to Ocean Mist, celebrities are recognizing the appeal for early entertainment.

Celebrities Are Embracing Earlier Events, Too

Remember when Jamie Lee Curtis threw out this idea?

@todayshow @coldplay, we're talking to you! @jamieleecurtis says musicians should start playing shows earlier to accommodate for audience members like her who can't always stay up for later performances. Do you agree? #Concerts #JamieLeeCurtis #TODAYShow ♬ original sound - TODAY Show

A matinee concert? Now we're talking.

So get those fists pumping and prepare for a party the whole family can enjoy before lunchtime.

LOOK: See America's 50 Best Beach Towns

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
