Don’t forget — there is always room for dessert at Party on the Pier! For those with a sweet-tooth craving, a donut from Duck Donuts or a scoop from Penny Lick Ice Cream will satisfy your sugary desires for starters, though there will be a limitless supply of sweet treats sure to induce a sublime sugar high.

To wash it all down, expect plenty of beer, wine, and cocktails for all. With a cool beverage in hand, experience the highly anticipated sixth annual Bartender Shake-Off, which features Westchester’s top bartenders competing for Best Bartender honors. Arrive around 6 p.m. and stay until 9 p.m. to ensure that you can experience a picturesque Long Island Sound sunset in Westchester. As the music plays in tune to the drinks that flow and the food that satisfies, the time is ideal for enjoying classic summer evening breezes off the water.
