Concert Series
Each year, The COAST Is Clear Music & Arts Festival is the kick-off event for our Winter/Spring concert series. The festival, which always takes place on the first weekend of December, marks the official close of Atlantic Hurricane Season and for the next six months — when the “coast is clear” — we host monthly concerts at Fort East Martello. Then once we get back around to June, we “batten down the hatches” and prepare for the stormy season ahead.
