Westy Self Storage in East Northport is a proud sponsor of the Huntington Lighthouse Preservation Society’s upcoming Musicfest. The Lighthouse Musicfest was started in 2006 to increase awareness of the Huntington Lighthouse plight and to bring a unique FUNdraising event to the Long Island boating community.

Join the fun on Saturday, September 3 starting at 11 a.m. and continuing until dusk. Bands play from the roof of the Lighthouse and this year’s musical lineup includes: Ed Travers Band, Stagecoach, King Wellington, Dr. K’s Motown Revue, FreeRide, Milagro, Joe Rock and the Allstars, Pamela Betti Band and Santosha. Attendance has grown to over 1,100 boats with over 12,000 people attending by yacht, boat, kayak, canoe, inner-tube, or any other mode of water transportation they find to reach the lighthouse.

The Huntington Lighthouse Preservation Society, Inc. (formerly, Save Huntington’s Lighthouse, Inc.) was formed in 1985 by concerned citizens to prevent the tear down and demolition of the Lloyd Harbor Light Station and its replacement with an automated light tower by the United States Coast Guard. The objectives of the organization are to restore, preserve and maintain the historic lighthouse listed on the National Historic Register as the Huntington Harbor Lighthouse. The organization is dedicated to ongoing preservation of the interior and exterior and preserve it for public use as an educational and historic resource while maintaining its use as an active Aid to Navigation.
