There is no shortage of summer music festivals in NYC, so why not break away from a fest in a park and enjoy your tunes at one of New York's best beaches?
The first annual Rock! Away! Music Fest is coming to Riis Park Beach Bazaar from July 14-16 for a three-day bash of food, art and local music. The best part of all? It's free! So slather on some sunscreen, pack a few cans of rosé in your backpack and hop on the Rockaway Beach bus for a day (or three) of tunes and sunshine. Here is the lineup for the event:
