Members of the community can kick off the summer season with a Memorial Day Fireworks and Commemoration Ceremony at North Hempstead Beach Park.

The extravaganza will feature musical entertainment from Fleetwood Mac tribute band Skyline Orchestra and Tusk.

Those who come for the entertainment can also enjoy a walking path along the water and picnic areas.

The beach will open at 3 p.m. and the extravaganza kicks off at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 23. The fireworks will begin once it becomes dark.

“The Memorial Day Fireworks Ceremony is always a wonderful kickoff to the summer season,” said Supervisor Judi Bosworth. ”It is a terrific opportunity for our community to celebrate the start of the summer, while paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice fighting for our freedom.”
