The Westbury Music Fair

The Westbury Music Fair was a theatre-in-the-round venue in Jericho, Long Island — its circular stage surrounded by the audience on all sides, creating an intimacy unusual for a venue of its size. It operated from the 1950s until its closure in 2012. Ringo Starr performed there on at least eight occasions between 1999 and 2014, making it one of the east coast venues most closely associated with the All-Starr Band.
