Destinations

While gig-tripping has been popular for adult travelers thanks to Taylor Swift’s extensive Eras Tour and Harry Styles’ epic U.K. stops, family travelers take it a step further and plan trips around their children’s favorite performers, touring productions and entertainment experiences. Want to jump on this trend? Here are some of the more popular ones coming up:

 

KIDZ BOP in the Caribbean

The No.1 music brand for kids has recently been added to Beaches Turks & Caicos’ Fall Fam Jam 2026 lineup. KIDZ BOP will have two live beachfront performances from Oct. 1 to 5. The fun goes beyond a typical concert, offering meet-and-greets, dance lessons, themed pool parties and karaoke for the whole family.

 

Toddler Techno Take Over

Also for Fall Fam Jam, Beaches Turks & Caicos will launch its first-ever toddler-friendly beach rave with DJ Lenny Pearce. Kids can get their party on with glow sticks, foam bursts, floats and festival-style dance parties. The rave is rooted in nostalgia, allowing both parents and kids to have fun.

 

Live Kids Entertainment

Plan trips around national children’s tours like Bluey’s Big Play, Disney Jr. Live On Tour, Paw Patrol Live!, and Blippi: Join the Band Tour. These tours offer families the perfect chance to turn show dates into a full weekend getaway.

 

Beyond fan favorites like Beaches and Disney, resorts and destinations around the world are adding kid-focused programming and events centered around kids’ fandoms.
