Porch Concerts and Solstice Sunsets This Weekend

Sea Cliff, NY · June 20, 2026

Watching the first tents go up at St. Luke’s is the best way to track the start of a Saturday morning here. The breeze off the Sound is keeping things crisp today, just in time for the longest days of the year.

📰 The Lead

Tomorrow marks the official Summer Solstice, but the village is already leaning into the light. Preparations are in full swing for "Make Music Sea Cliff," the local chapter of the global midsummer musical celebration. While the main event hits tomorrow, today serves as the unofficial dress rehearsal. You’ll likely hear the sound of acoustic guitars and drum kits being tuned on porches across the hills this afternoon as neighbors prepare their makeshift stages. The Farmers Market at St. Luke’s is the place to fuel up this morning, as local vendors report the first significant harvest of the season. It’s a weekend that perfectly captures the village’s transition from the quiet of spring to the high-energy hum of the summer season.
