After being rained out last month, one of Long Island's premier summer family fun events will kick off Thursday evening as Alive After Five returns to Main Street in Patchogue.
The street fair, organized by the Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce, starts at 5 p.m. and will feature six stages of live music and entertainment, more than 90 craft and retail vendors, 11 food trucks, children's activities and amusements, a Chinese auction and much more.
There are free shuttles (full-size buses actually) that will pick up and drop off at the St. Joseph's College and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church parking lots continuously from 5 to 11 p.m.
