If you are in New York City this evening, head over to Pier 25 on the Hudson River to the historic lighthouse tender the ex-USCGC Lilac for a free concert in honor of National Lighthouse Day.  The concert, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, rain or shine, will be on-deck under the awning, featuring musical performances by Peter Zummo, Ernie Brooks, and Mustafa Khaliq Ahmed.

There will be a cash bar serving beer and wine with proceeds benefitting the restoration of the Lilac and ship programming. 21+ only.

The USCGC Lilac (WAGL/WLM-227) is a former Coast Guard lighthouse tender located in New York City. The Lilac is America’s only surviving steam-powered lighthouse tender. She was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 7, 2005. She is a museum ship, docked at Pier 25, near North Moore Street in Manhattan.
