The town was filled and music could be heard from all corners. The opening party hosted by the Westlake Fish House was one of the best yet! Attendees got a great sampling of the bands that then performed throughout the weekend, as well as an abundance of delicious appetizers and sponsor cocktail tastings. From East Lake Drive, and all throughout Westlake, the Harbor and town, and even at Gurney’s on the Old Highway- venues were rocking Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
As usual, when there are so many venues and artists involved, we had a few cancellations and last-minute shuffling. And due to a number of unavoidable concerns, we had to postpone the Main Stage shows.
Fortunately, our host for the Main Stages, The Montauk Yacht Club, was able to reschedule with us for June 29th and 30th. Depending on band availability, we will have the same bands back for either Saturday or Sunday to perform on the big stage – which will be on the great lawn at the Yacht Club overlooking the Montauk harbor.
In the evenings some of the performing bands will also be playing at a few venues around town- creating a festive music filled weekend.
Thanks to our sponsors and hotel sponsors, volunteers, 5 Towns College volunteers, and a special thanks to our Sound Engineer Tarik Solangi and RCF, without whom we wouldn’t have all the great sound.
