The Fall Family Festival will be returning to North Hempstead Beach Park in Port Washington on Saturday, Oct. 5 from 12 to 5 p.m.
“I always remind people that North Hempstead is a family-friendly town, and this Family Festival is a perfect example,” Supervisor Jennifer DeSena said. “We want our neighbors and their families to kick off the autumn season with a little something for everyone and this festival does just that.”
VHS Cover Band and the Rusty Spur Band will play live music throughout the event.
VHS is a five-piece band consisting of veteran players from bands across the Long Island area. Rusty Spur is a country band that blends both modern country songs with traditional country classics.
The fourth annual event will feature many free, fall-themed activities including a pumpkin patch, a pumpkin maze, arts & crafts, button making, Girl Scouts of Nassau County Traveling Trefoil, a spooky slime bar, bouncy slides, a mechanical trackless fire engine, character meet-and-greets and a Boot Camp obstacle course. Attendees will be able to purchase food and refreshments from local vendors, and all are encouraged to bring their beach chairs to enjoy live musical performances.
Admission and parking are free. For more information about the event, please call 311 or (516) 869-6311.
