LONG ISLAND SUMMER FESTIVAL
Spend unforgettable summer evenings at Long Island's best outdoor concert venue. As you enter the gates of Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park, you'll quickly appreciate the grandeur of this magnificent 409-acre Gold Coast estate, with its rich history and lush gardens.
Arrive when the gates open for the concert and enjoy the gardens before the show.
The 2008 Summer Concert Series concluded with the Taj Mahal concert on September 7. Pending publication of the schedule for 2009 next Spring, we leave here our 2008 line-up, below, which showcases the variety of musical styles and entertainment you can expect from FOTA.
Thanks for your support during 2008! We hope to see you again in 2009!

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Taj Mahal/Phoebe Snow concert above was rescheduled to Sunday, September 7 at 7:30 p.m., due to Hurricane Hanna and the prediction of hazardous weather. Phoebe Snow could not perform on the Sunday, but will appear on Saturday, July 18, 2009 in the 2009 Summer Concert Series. All those who purchased tickets for the cancelled 2008 performance will receive a 50% discount for the 2009 show. Lawn pass ticket books and member lawn tickets are not eligible. FOTA will contact all who purchased tickets with further details.
A-Plus tickets: A very limited number of tickets are available at this special package price. Your 'A' section ticket plus a $60 donation to FOTA entitles you to VIP Parking for the night and a Festival Club Pass for the night (the Festival Club is a private club serving free beverages and snacks pre-show and during intermission). A-Plus tickets must be purchased at least one week before concert.
See our 'buy tickets' section in the right hand menu for ticket purchase information and for details of group discounts and other promotions.
FOTA's annual picnic contest was held prior to the Taj Mahal concert on September 7. Go here for more information.
