THE STATE OF LI MUSIC VENUES REOPENING
BY NICOLE FORMISANO
Concert fanatics, listen up! Live music is coming back to Long Island.
We all sacrificed a lot during the pandemic. We stayed home for a full year, showing how
much we truly respect each other’s safety and well-being (at least when we’re not driving
on the Southern State). And during that year, we missed out on so much of what makes Long
Island what it is — the beach days, the boardwalk jogs, the dining out, the nightlife.
But thanks to healthcare workers, local vaccination efforts, and our mindful citizens,
we’re finally ready to make up for lost time.
As Long Island continues to get back on its feet, local venues are in various stages
of opening up. Some are still closed, others are providing socially distanced or
vaccinated-only sections, and others are fully reopened. Keep reading to find out
the status of your favorite venue!
