2008 Huntington Summer Arts Festival
The Huntington Summer Arts Festival is held every night, except Mondays, at the Chapin Rainbow Stage in Heckscher Park, Huntington, NY 11743.
All performances are free and start at 8:30pm and end around 10pm, later if we’re lucky.
The Huntington Arts Council has held this summer long event since 1966, and has entertained millions of local residents since then. The event highlights many of the residents talents by featuring Huntington’s Community Band and several area Choruses. In addition to this local spotlight, nationally known entertainers are known to stop by, this year featuring acts such as Tom Paxton.
