Core Event
On a Saturday in Narragansett, Rhode Island, thousands gathered on the town’s beach to watch Maroon 5 perform. The free concert was organized by local hedge-fund manager Joseph Healey to mark his 60th birthday. The stage was set up on the sand between the Beach Club House and the Dunes Club, and concertgoers arrived as early as 8 a.m. to secure a good view.
Background: A Decade-Long Birthday-Concert Tradition
Healey has previously funded free beach concerts for his milestone birthdays. In 2006, the inaugural event featured Sting, and a decade later, Lenny Kravitz performed for his 50th birthday. Those earlier shows established a local tradition of large-scale, complimentary music events tied to Healey’s personal celebrations.
Official Statements & Responses
The department highlighted its role in security and crowd control, adding that the event proceeded safely thanks to cooperation from South Kingstown, North Kingstown, Rhode Island State Police, and the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management.
