Smithtown Live Music Series Schedule For Summer 2024: What To Know

TOWN OF SMITHTOWN, NY — The Smithtown Summer Concert Series is underway, and town residents can enjoy free, live music shows at Long Beach and Hoyt Farm, the town's recreation department announced.

The Summer Concert Series features a vast selection of genres, from doo wop and classic rock, to billboard hits from some of the best tribute bands on Long Island. On Friday nights, residents can enjoy live music at Long Beach in Nissequogue beginning at 7 p.m. On Sundays, residents can head over to Hoyt Farm in Commack for another fantastic evening of music starting at 7 p.m.

"This is the best part of year… Every Friday and Sunday night, hundreds of local families pack up the car and head out to our flagship park and beach; both of which have just been renovated, to enjoy great music, good company and take in all that makes Smithtown such a special place to live," Supervisor Ed Wehrheim stated. "I want to thank our incredible Recreation Department, led by Tom McCaffrey for putting together another stellar season of entertainment for the community. Also, I am deeply grateful to the Smithtown Parks Department, led by Joe Arico, for working overtime to get the parks ready for the season, and for the tireless hours they devote to cleaning the facilities after each event. If you haven’t experienced a night out at Hoyt or Long Beach… I highly recommend you bring the family down and enjoy in the memories."
