Things really get rocking and rolling in East Hampton Village on Tuesday at 6 p.m., with the first in a summer-long series of free outdoor concerts at Main Beach. 

This week it will be a reggae vibe, with Winston Irie kicking off the series. Next up, on July 4, it'll be Conga Cartel. The concerts take place weekly from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Parking at the beach is free starting at 5, and the earlier you get there, the closer you'll be able to park to the beach, says the East Hampton Village Foundation, which helps to sponsor the series. 

The summer lineup continues with Inner Roots on July 11, LHT on July 18, and Hot Lava on July 25. In August, there's Nancy Atlas on the 1st, Hello Brooklyn on the 8th, Rubix Kube on the 15th, and Reeb on the 29th. Rum Punch Mafia will play the final concert on Tumbleweed Tuesday -- Sept. 5. 

Chairs and blankets, picnic dinners, and even swimsuits are in order -- lifeguards are on duty late on Tuesdays to keep their eyes on swimmers of all ages. The Beach Hut concession is also open at the pavilion until 8.
