Calendar of Events
Our Weekend Activities Schedule is once again filled with Concerts spanning the weeks of our Summer Season beginning with a July 4th Concert by the Gap Mangione Big Band and ending with a Traditional Labor Day Concert by the Rhythm Aces Big Band.
Our afternoon concerts are presented at the Lighthouse Gazebo with lawn seating in the village park adjacent to the Museum. Please plan to join us! The Concerts are free, and we serve the finest grilled hot dogs and sausages that you have ever tasted from our volunteer staffed food line, both before and during the concerts.
A big "Thank You!" to our wonderful sponsors!
