Rockville Centre Is Going Tropical When Margaritaville Returns

Get ready to forget your winter blues, at least for one night. The Rockville Centre Community Fund's annual Margaritaville fundraiser is set for Feb. 3, and will present an island's worth of fun.

The annual event is one of the largest fundraiser of the year for the Community Fund, which was created by former mayor Gene Murray. The fund helps the community by donating funds to Rockville Centre residents in need.

This year's Margaritaville will feature music by Jimmy and the Parrots (like always), and will honor Rockville Centre resident Niall Gunn, owner of Monaghan's Irish Pub and Restaurant. The event will be catered by Kasey's Kitchen and Cocktails.

The fun kicks off at 7 p.m. at the St. Agnes Parish Center, located at 26 Quealy Place, though guests should enter through the entrance on North Village Avenue. Tickets are $75 per person, and admission is limited to those 21 and over.

For more information on Margaritaville, call Mayor Francis X. Murray's office at 516-678-9264.
