concert of the 2026 season on	Wednesday, August 5	, with an unforgettable evening featuring	Lulada Club , an electrifying all-women salsa orchestra bringing the vibrant sounds of Cali, Colombia, to New

York City—and now to Brewster. Led by vocalist and musical director	Andrea Chavarro	, Lulada Club has quickly become one of New York

salsa orchestras in New York's live music scene, she assembled a remarkable group of accomplished musicians to create a high-energy band that celebrates the rich traditions of tropical music while forgingits own distinctive sound.

Their infectious rhythms, exceptional musicianship, and joyful stage presence promise an evening of dancing and entertainment for audiences of all ages and experience levels.

The series will also recognize its Community Partners, including	Brewster Cares	, which will be collecting non-perishable food donations to help local families in need.



Bring your family, invite your friends, and join your neighbors for one final summer evening of great music, community spirit, and celebration. Whether you're an experienced salsa dancer or simply looking for a fun night out, Lulada Club will provide the perfect finale to another outstanding Brewster Summer Music Series season.



The Brewster Summer Music Series is presented by the Town of Southeast Cultural Arts Coalition and is free and open to the public. Concerts are held at the gazebo in Southeast Veterans Park in Brewster.

Come help us close out the summer with music, dancing, and community as we celebrate another memorable season together.

Presented by the Town of Southeast Cultural Arts Coalition, the free, family-friendly concerts invite residents and visitors alike to gather for great music and community spirit. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy an evening of exceptional live entertainment under the summer sky.




The Brewster Summer Music Series is one of many programs of the Town of Southeast Cultural Arts Coalition, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating and sustaining cultural arts in the region. Since 2010, the Coalition has led the restoration of the historic Southeast Old Town Hall while presenting hundreds of cultural events through the Studio Around the Corner, the Old Town Hall Theater,​and other local venues. More information about this and other exciting upcoming events can be found at www.culturalartsco.com.
