Free Concert And Fireworks Show at TOBAY Beach
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board invite residents to celebrate our nation at a special “Salute to America” concert and Grucci Fireworks Show scheduled for Tuesday, July 9th at a special start time of 7:30 p.m. at TOBAY Beach. This year’s “Salute to America” will feature a performance by Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats, and will conclude with a spectacular firework show by Grucci. This event honors veterans and members of the United States Armed Forces. Concertgoers are urged to bring folding chairs and pack a cooler, as no formal seating exists. “Our ‘Salute to America’ provides a great opportunity for families and seniors to enjoy a free evening of music and entertainment while celebrating our freedoms in America and the veterans and active duty military who secured those freedoms,” said Supervisor Saladino. “This year’s concert features Grammy-nominated Stray Cats founder and bass player Hall of Famer Lee Rocker, who will undoubtedly give a wonderful and fun performance. Please bring your family, and friends, along with some lawn chairs and coolers to TOBAY Beach for a wonderful night!” If doubtful weather conditions arise, please call (516) 797-7925 or visit the Town of Oyster Bay Facebook page for updates.
