The first concert of the Village Pops 25th season will be held on Wednesday, June 27 at 7:30 p.m. There will be no concert on Wednesday, July 4. The Village Pops will be performing a special anniversary program at the Village Fire House and Village Pops anniversaries celebration on Sunday, July 8 at 5 p.m. The Village Pops concerts will then continue July 11 through Aug. 8, each Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. The children's concert will be on Wednesday, Aug. 1. All concerts will be held on the Village Green in the gazebo. The Village Pops Concerts are directed and were founded by former Farmingdale High School music teacher and alumnus Brad DeMilo. The Village Pops Community Band, a group of volunteer musicians who include Farmingdale High School alumni and other performers, range from 16 to 75 years of age. The band group meets once a week to practice thanks to support from the Farmingdale Board of Education.

The Farmingdale Minute of History will again be part of this year's Village Pops concerts. Village Mayor George Graf will be reading "Farmingdale in 1932." In its 21st year, the Minute of History is a series of lectures provided by local community members and representatives about the community's past. This feature on local history was conceived by DeMilo as part of Farmingdale's Tricentennial of Settlement observance in 1987. Farmingdale Village Historian Bill Johnston of the Farmingdale-Bethpage Historical Society will organize the Minute of History.
