Northwell at Jones Beach Theater
Wantagh, NY
The Long Island summer rite of passage: 15,000 seats on the water at Jones Beach, salt air rolling in off the Atlantic while the headliner plays the encore. Every Long Islander has a first-concert story that starts here.
LOCAL TIP
The Wantagh and Meadowbrook crawl after the encore, so do not race to the lot; the upper sections trade closeness for a sunset over the bay that beats most orchestra seats.
