Fall concert this weekend at Sylvester Manor

Sylvester Manor will offer a fun, musical afternoon outdoors on Saturday, Oct. 10, with a special double-bill concert featuring Gene Casey & the Lone Sharks, Long Island’s legendary roots rock & roll band and The Hoodoo Loungers, the local high-energy New Orleans-inspired dance band. This community event on the Manor grounds is more than just a day of music — it’s also a co-fundraiser supporting the Shelter Island Fire Department as well as Sylvester Manor.

A portion of all ticket sales from the event will go directly toward supporting the vital work of Shelter Island’s local firefighters. In addition, a 50/50 raffle will be held during the event, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the department.
