UPTON, NY - Sponsored by the BNL Music Club, the fourth annual outdoor summer music festival will be held at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory from noon until 6 p.m. on Sunday, August 14.

The concert will be held on the lawn next to Berkner Hall, rain or shine. Visitors to the Laboratory age 16 and over must bring a photo ID. All concertgoers are advised to bring their own blankets or chairs. Also, the BNL Music Club encourages everyone to bring a nonperishable food item for the BNL Food Drive, which benefits local pantries in Brookhaven Town.
