Concerts in the Park by Southampton Cultural Center Begin

Since its inception in 1985 the Southampton Cultural Center's series of free summer concerts in Agawam Park and Coopers Beach has been a favorite attraction for locals and visitors alike. Families and friends, young and old gather for a relaxing evening of great entertainment. Bring beach chairs, blankets and a picnic. "Imagine yourself on a beautiful summer night in the serene setting of Agawam Park or gorgeous Coopers Beach with your friends or family enjoying a picnic surrounded by good music at no charge. How can you beat that?" says Executive Director Kirsten Lonnie. The concerts are free, but donations are highly appreciated.

All concerts are scheduled from 6:30 - 8:30 PM
