Mangano Welcomes The B-52s To Eisenhower Park On Saturday, August 6th

Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano has announced the appearance of the B-52s, the World’s Greatest Party Band, at Eisenhower Park’s Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre in East Meadow on Saturday, August 6th.

From the timeless gems of “Rock Lobster,” “Planet Claire” and “Private Idaho” to the more recent classics “Channel Z,” “Love Shack” and “Roam”, the B-52s’ unforgettable dance-rock tunes start a party every time their music begins. The party at Eisenhower Park will begin at 7:45 p.m. and admission is free.

“I invite everyone to bring the family down to Eisenhower Park on Saturday night and enjoy a great party music by the B-52s,” said County Executive Mangano.

The Summer Concert Series at the Lakeside Theatre is made possible through proceeds collected from visitors staying in hotel and motel rooms throughout Nassau County. Since 2006, more than $10 million has been collected from these hotel stays. Nassau County residents benefit from the collection of funds through summer concerts, family programming, cultural enhancements and historic building restorations.

The Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre is located near parking fields 6 and 6A in Eisenhower Park. Special accommodations are available for disabled patrons, including reserved parking, easily accessible restrooms, and a convenient reserved location on the hill. Assistive hearing devices are available for the hearing impaired. There is no formal seating at Lakeside Theatre, so concertgoers are urged to bring folding chairs. If weather conditions are doubtful, call (516) 572-0355 after 7:00 p.m. for updated performance information.

Eisenhower Park, operated by the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums, is located in East Meadow, with entrances on Hempstead Turnpike and Merrick Avenue.
