The July 26 and Aug. 2 will have a modest offering of food to purchase and will not include any alcohol sales, said Frank Pagano of the Borough Cultural Affairs and Recreation Committee, which is organizing the three events.

The Aug. 9 concert, featuring a New Orleans theme, will feature "James Day and the Fish Fry," Cajun food and a beer garden offering five varieties of beer. An opening band will play from 5 to 6:30 p.m. and "James Day and the Fish Fry" will play from 7 to 9 p.m.   

Guests are encouraged to bring chairs since seating is limited.

All three music festivals are paid for through alcohol sales at the music festival that was held in May and through the beer that will be sold on Aug. 9, Pagano said.
