Long Island’s Great South Bay Music Festival held their first festival since 2019, welcoming 15,000 people to Patchogue’s Shorefront Park for four days of music and sun safe fun! In its relaunch, Great South Bay sought help from Stony Brook Cancer Center’s CPiA team to adopt a sun safety policy, with the goal of reducing UV exposure for festival attendees and staff. Sunscreen was readily available to concert goers with sunscreen dispensers throughout the festival. CPiA staff passed out sunscreen packets to folks on food and drink lines, with 10,000 sunscreen packets distributed over four days. Sun safety swag bags with sunscreen, sunglasses, SPF lip balm, and information on skin cancer prevention were provided to all festival staff. As a cancer survivor himself, it was important to Jim Faith, festival organizer, to support cancer prevention at the festival.
