Festivals
Long Island's festival circuit — village street fairs, harbor festivals, harvest fests, beer + wine festivals, food truck rallies.
Editor's Pick Northport Fall Festival
Northport Village's signature street festival shuts Main Street down for a full Saturday of food trucks, live music on the harborfront stage, kids' rides, and 100+ local vendors. Park on Bay Avenue by 10:30 AM — the main lot fills by 11. The food vendor lineup at the village green is the highlight; line up by noon for the first wave before the lunch rush.

Main Street shuts down 5-10 PM for live music on four stages, food from every restaurant on the strip, beer gardens at three corners, and family activities at Roe Park. The Patchogue Theatre stage is the main draw — get there by 7 PM for a good spot.
