Sunset Concert Series Returns to Clifton Park Tonight

Sea Cliff, NY · June 24, 2026

The morning mist is lifting off the Sound just in time for the first big mid-week gathering of the summer. Watching the crews set up the temporary stage in the park is the only thing on the docket before the coffee kicks in.

📰 The Lead

The Village Board finalized the Phase II plans for the Sea Cliff Beach Pavilion last night, ensuring the historic aesthetic remains intact while upgrading the structural supports. Work is scheduled to pause during the peak July-August season to avoid disrupting beachgoers, but residents will notice new temporary signage outlining the 2027 vision.

The project aims to restore the original 1930s-style woodwork while integrating modern drainage systems to handle heavy coastal storms. For now, the snack bar and restrooms remain fully operational. The board emphasized that the goal is preservation rather than a total overhaul, maintaining the classic look that has defined the waterfront for generations. Expect the first visible scaffolding to arrive after Labor Day.
