People were “Boot Scootin” and “Boogieing” on the lawn at Country Western Night on Wednesday, August 12th, at the eighth concert of the Marine Park Summer Concert Series, a new addition to the summer concerts sponsored by Assemblywoman Jaime Williams.
The weather was perfect, and the park was packed with fans that came decked out in cowboy boots, hats and western fashion. Several audience members brought instruments like tambourines and maracas that added to the fun.
Scott Yahney, DJ, played a variety of country music, including Alan Jackson’s “Chattahoochee,” Charlie Daniels’ “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” and Beyonce’s “Texas Hold ‘Em.” He also delighted the crowd by singing a few songs and entertaining them with his sense of humor and music trivia.
These amazing concerts are free and open to the public. Williams along with sponsors Marine Park Alliance, Kings Plaza, Michaels of Brooklyn, Chrysalis Archaeological Consultants and Associates, Marine Park Hardware, Sotheby’s International Realty and others in partnership with NYC Parks, Millennium Development and the Marine Park Community Association make these favorite summer concerts possible.
Decades will be back to rock and roll in Marine Park on Wednesday, August 19th, with a rain date of Thursday, August 20th.
Concerts are held in Marine Park every Wednesday night (with a rain date of Thursday) at 6:30 p.m. on the lawn near the bocce court. Bring your friends, family, a chair, blanket and a camera to record the memories! For more information, call 718-252-2124.
