LONG ISLAND SUMMER FESTIVAL 2008
Spend unforgettable summer evenings at Long Island's best outdoor concert venue. As you enter the gates of Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park, you'll quickly appreciate the grandeur of this magnificent 409-acre Gold Coast estate, with its rich history and lush gardens.
Arrive when the gates open for the concert and enjoy the gardens before the show.
Please note that this remains a tentative list, with more to come; artists and dates are subject to change before tickets go on sale to FOTA members on May 12, and to the general public two weeks later on May 26. Please return here often to check this listing.
