Summer nights in Norwalk
mean music by the Sound, and there is no better place to enjoy a concert as the
sunsets than at Calf Pasture Beach. In
addition to music, four concert evenings begin with a classic car show organized by The Coachmen for several hundred-car
buffs from throughout the tri-state area.

On July 3,
Norwalk will celebrate its annual Independance Day Celebration (rain date July
5). Dance to the Music with DJ Nuxxo opens Shady Beach entertainment at 6
p.m. and family fun at Calf Pasture Beach starts at 5:30 p.m. with The
Amazing Andy Show. Bill Genuario, one of the most popular vocalists
in the tri-state area, headlines at 8:00 p.m. at Shady Beach. He will be joined
by his band, Destiny, which includes Tommy Hartlett (keyboard and
vocals), Linda Fakundiny (guitar/vocals), Johnny Mennonna (bass guitar) and Ron
Nihoff (drums). Parking will be available at Calf Pasture Beach only.
On
July 10 at 6:30 p.m. concertgoers will enjoy Curious Creatures, a hands on
exhibit of exotic animals followed by Scarborough Fair. With
voices that blend effortlessly into that Simon & Garfunkel signature sound,
brothers Jeb and Jock Guthrie pay tribute to the famous musical duo.
A Classic Car Show beginning
at 6:00 p.m. on July 17 is followed by the music of The Royal Kings. This musical ensemble
features vocalists Joey
