Suffolk County Legislator Robert Trotta Kicks off Smithtown Summer Concert Series
Smithtown Library kicked off the Summertime favorite tradition, on July 9th with it’s 11th Annual Outdoor Family Summer Concert Series. The concert series, made possible thanks to a grant secured by Legislator Robert Trotta, was inaugurated with a special performance of our National Anthem, by a very talented Caitlin Beirne of St. James. Music filled the night sky as hundreds of people sat on the main branch lawn of the Smithtown Library, as Desert Highway, an Eagles Tribute Band rocked the lawn. This was the first Concert in a series of Thursday night concerts, which will feature tribute bands during the months of July and August.
“It is my privilege to obtain a county grant through the Suffolk County Office of Economic Development to support the Friends of the Smithtown Library in providing free family entertainment to the residents of Smithtown… Last year, more than 20,000 people attended the concerts.” – Legislator Robert Trotta
