Fiddlers Green has been a favorite at Long Island venues for years. Their performance tonight will feature charming Irish folk songs and tunes, from lively to poignant, played on traditional instruments.

In Irish folk tradition, "Fiddler's Green" refers to a mythical afterlife paradise specifically for sailors, where there is endless music, dancing, good food, and drink, essentially a sailor's heaven, with the "fiddle" representing the constant lively music playing there; it's a place of perpetual joy and merriment.

Following the concert, Observatory staff will provide guided tours of the night sky (weather permitting) through our many telescopes on site, including the apochromatic Zerochromat telescope in our historic observation dome.
