Great South Bay Music Festival

The Great South Bay Music Festival returns to the scenic shores of Shorefront Park for another unforgettable summer celebration. Set against the sparkling waters of the Great South Bay, this beloved Long Island tradition brings together music lovers for multiple days of world-class live performances in a breathtaking open-air setting.

The grassy grounds of Shorefront Park transform into a vibrant village of music, food, and community, drawing crowds from across the tri-state area who come to soak up the late-July summer atmosphere alongside fellow music enthusiasts. Beyond the main stages, the festival offers a rich tapestry of sights, tastes, and sounds that make it a full sensory celebration. Local vendors, craft artisans, and food purveyors line the park, while the bay breeze keeps the summer heat at bay. Family-friendly and welcoming to all ages, Great South Bay Music Festival is the quintessential Long Island summer tradition — a joyful gathering where music, nature, and community come together in perfect harmony.
