Hundreds of local residents filled out the lawn at Fort Totten Park in Bayside on Sunday afternoon for a free 80’s and Beyond music concert by the cover band Decadia. 

The event was sponsored by Councilwoman Vickie Paladino, who represents Northeastern Queens, and Queensborough Performing Arts Center, which organizes a range of community shows across the borough.

The concert was the first of a series of free outdoor concerts that the council members across the city sponsor each summer in their community’s local parks. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring their own blankets and chairs to enjoy the show. 

“Thank you to all the staff who worked to put the show together, from Susan at QPAC, whom we love, to the stage hands, performers, and to my staff for coordinating the show! I can’t thank you enough for producing the concert for my constituents,” wrote the Councilwoman on Facebook.
