"Each year, around Patriot Day, the people of Smithtown come together to remember, to reflect, and to celebrate the freedoms we cherish," Smithtown Supervisor Edward Wehrheim stated. "Welcoming our first responders, law enforcement, veterans, and active military personnel to Callahan’s Beach for an evening with The Lords of 52nd Street is our way of honoring their service and sacrifice while giving neighbors, friends, and families a chance to enjoy an unforgettable evening. This concert would not be possible without the generosity of Cosentino Companies, whose unwavering commitment to giving back continues to enrich our community. We are truly grateful and look forward to sharing an unforgettable night with the residents of Smithtown."

The "spirit of community, patriotism, and timeless music" will take center stage, as the Town of Smithtown hosts its annual Free Fall Concert at Callahan’s Beach in Fort Salonga.

The scenic waterfront Callahan’s Beach will open its gates to concert goers at 5 p.m. inviting residents to set up their chairs and blankets along the sand and shoreline. As the sun sets over the Long Island Sound, the band will take the stage at 6 p.m., performing the hits that defined a generation.
