I am so very proud of Nassau County’s parks system and all we have to offer our residents. This summer we have an action-packed line up of quality entertainment and the best part is that most events are free for residents.
My efforts to create tourism, coupled with immense support from local business sponsors, make it possible to bring top notch entertainment to you at no charge. This summer my bi-weekly column will alert you to our upcoming events.
Next Friday, June 15 at 7:30 p.m., Nassau County hosts a free concert with the fun and groovy Disco Unlimited.

Dance grooves coupled with a synchronized stage and light show will turn the evening into the best of disco nights. Stop by Eisenhower Park for a blast from the past with some great disco music.
