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.
