Winston Irie and the Selective Security Band kicked off the free Tuesday evening concert series at Main Beach, and this week, on Independence Day, Conga Cartel will get people moving at 6 p.m. Parking is free starting at 5, and early arrival is recommended in order to get a decent spot in the lots. 

The seven-piece band serves up “complex rhythms and Latin influences with a modern fusion of funk and commercial dance music,” according to its website. Its members hail from Uruguay, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and New York. The band on July 11 will be Inner Roots.  LHT plays on July 18, and Hot Lava on July 25. 

The Main Beach concession area will be open throughout the concert, and lifeguards will be on duty. People take chairs, blankets, and picnics, and leashed dogs are welcomed.

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
