The Island Now

Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano announced last week that the County Parks’ International Music Nights Concert Series will kick off this year on Sunday, June 2, at the Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre in Eisenhower Park.  The International Music Nights Concert Series provides residents an opportunity to experience the broad range of cultures that Nassau County has to offer. 

 “The International Music Nights Concert Series is a great Nassau County tradition with twenty dedicated to music and culture that honor a range of ethnic groups,” Mangano said.  “Come enjoy the park, music and culture all summer long.”
