The Island Time String Band is thrilled to make our debut at Lucky Hare Brewing Bar & Grill on August 29, 2026. They’re throwing an “End of Summer Luau Party” at their Watkins Glen , New York location on the Seneca Lake Harbor.

Lucky Hare Brewing Bar & Grill sits right on the waterfront at Seneca Harbor in Watkins Glen, with the marina and Seneca Lake providing a pretty hard-to-beat backdrop for an afternoon or evening of music. The family-friendly restaurant features Lucky Hare’s own craft beers alongside local wine, cider, cocktails, and a full kitchen. Large windows, outdoor seating, and the open waterfront setting give the place an easygoing atmosphere that feels especially well suited to live music. Lucky Hare has also made music a regular part of its identity, hosting a steady schedule of local and regional performers throughout the season.

And then there’s Watkins Glen itself. Tucked into the southern end of Seneca Lake, the village sits at the heart of one of the most scenic and culturally active corners of the Finger Lakes. It’s a place where wine, craft beer, food, boating, hiking, motorsports, and live music all intersect, with Seneca Lake and Watkins Glen State Park providing the natural backdrop. The village has a distinctive energy that comes from being both a year-round community and a destination for visitors exploring the Finger Lakes. For a musician, it’s a particularly rewarding place to play—the audience can include longtime locals, weekend travelers, wine-country visitors, and people simply looking for a good evening by the lake.
