Nassau County is presenting a day of what it calls fun, sun and blockbuster music at “Concert in the Park – Nassau Helping Nassau” to aid Hurricane Sandy victims.
The concert, being produced by Bobby G – a Wantagh resident and 9/11 first responder, will be held at Lakeside Theatre in Eisenhower Park on Saturday, June 8 from noon to 9:30 p.m.
“Thousands of Nassau County homes and small businesses were devastated by Hurricane Sandy,” Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano said. “Concert in the Park brings together many local musicians under one roof to help raise money for the hundreds of families and seniors who are struggling to recover. I thank all the musicians and Bobby G for volunteering their time to benefit our neighbors.”
