Music swells throughout one of Long Island’s favorite waterside villages as the Montauk Music Festival grooves from Thursday, May 16 through Sunday, May 19. This multi-venue, multi-artist live music event happens both indoors and outdoors in Montauk.

The weekend kicks off Thursday night with an opening party of music, appetizers, cocktails, and dancing, as 20 of the festival bands perform inside and under the tent at the Westlake Fish House. Aside from the opening party and an entrance fee for the main event at Montauk Yacht Club, shows at over 35 village venues are free. Transient space may be available at Montauk’s many marinas. Always make a reservation before heading out.  For a full list of performers and venues, call 631-668-5077 or visit http://www.montaukmusicfestival.com/
