As Korea enters the summer vacation season, Caribbean Bay is bringing back one of its signature summer experiences: music, waves, and a full-scale pool party in the middle of its outdoor wave pool.

Operated by Samsung C&T’s Resort Group, Caribbean Bay, Everland’s water park, will host the Water Music Pool Party from July 3 to August 17. The summer program combines DJ performances, special artist stages, water effects, and themed experiences, offering visitors a refreshing way to enjoy the peak holiday season.

This summer, Caribbean Bay is also presenting a wider lineup of seasonal attractions, from the Sanrio Characters collaboration festival Hello Summer Party to a 2Park special event that allows guests to enjoy both Caribbean Bay and Everland in a single day.

Water Music Pool Party Returns for the Peak Summer Season

Held in partnership with Samsung Card for the second consecutive year, the Water Music Pool Party has become one of Caribbean Bay’s flagship summer programs. The event takes place at the outdoor wave pool, where visitors can enjoy music while being surrounded by artificial waves reaching up to 2.4 meters high.

Throughout the event period, well-known DJs including DJ Vandal Rock and MIU will perform daily at the wave pool. With music, water play, and Caribbean Bay’s signature wave pool atmosphere coming together, the event has continued to draw attention as a summer hot spot among younger visitors.

K-Pop, Bands, and Hip-Hop Artists Join the Pool Party Lineup

Ahead of the event, Everland revealed the special performance lineup through its official social media channels, including YouTube and Instagram. The lineup features a wide range of leading Korean artists across K-pop, band, and hip-hop genres.

The first special stage was held on July 4 by fromis_9, known for their bright summer energy. The lineup continues with performances from popular boy groups including ALPHA DRIVE ONE on July 18 and NCT WISH on July 24, followed by rising girl group RESCENE on July 26.

Additional artists including ARTMS, CRAVITY, The Wind, LUCY, HAON, and NOWIMYOUNG will also appear in stages throughout the summer, adding to the festival atmosphere at Caribbean Bay.

This year, reggae artist OWN will join the Water Music Pool Party as a special MC. Through on-site events, dancing, and live interaction with visitors, OWN will help lead the pool party with even more energy.

A More Immersive Pool Party Experience

Caribbean Bay has also upgraded the stage production to create a more dynamic experience for guests attending the pool party.

Water cannons, water guns, and other special effects will be used in sync with the performances, sending refreshing bursts of water into the crowd and adding to the high-energy atmosphere. A large LED screen will also provide live coverage of the stage and audience, allowing visitors to enjoy the performances vividly from anywhere around the wave pool.

Around the wave pool area, visitors can find themed zones and photo spots featuring popular characters such as Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Kuromi dressed as lifeguards. Four-cut photo booths with Sanrio Characters frames are also available, giving guests a fun way to capture their summer visit.
