With all the free events that happen in the city, it’s hard to choose which ones to go to. Never mind the ones that are happening in surrounding areas, like New Jersey or Long Island, both of which have lots of fun summer events. Normally on a lovely summer Saturday evening like this one I’d probably be staying in the city to gawk at all the scantily-clad barhoppers people-watch, but tonight I’m heading on out to Long Island to attend one of their events.

The Town of Hempstead has free events all summer long, and tonight at the Town Park Point Lookout they are hosting one of their free summer concert events. It just so happens that my uncle plays in one of the bands, Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals, so I’m going out to see them play. I’ve seen them play many times and their performances are always awesome. It should be fun and hopefully we’ll get out there a little early so we can explore nearby Lido Beach.

What free (or cheap) events do you like to attend in the summertime?
