'Long Island Feast Fest' Slated For Bay Shore

BAY SHORE, NY — On the first Saturday of May, Long Islanders will have the opportunity to feast.

The rain or shine event will feature more than 20 local food trucks, offering a variety of dishes such as lobster, burgers, cheesesteaks, hotdogs, and donuts. Tickets are $10 online and $15 at the door. Admission is free for kids under 12.

More than 30 local vendors will also be selling packaged food, crafts, and art.

Some of them include:

• All American Wontons

Patrick Madden, president and event director of El Churro Entertainment Inc., told Patch that the Fest has something for every age group, from alcoholic drinks for grown-ups, to finger foods and games for kids (and for the young at heart).

"There's something for the whole family," he said. "While the adults are getting craft beers from the brewery, there's also Montauk iced teas for all ages."

The event will also host live music throughout the day, such as Brooklyn-based band, Space Station, Long Island-based band, The Tin Can Collective, and belly dance troupe, Winds of the Moon.

Madden said that El Churro Entertainment Inc., a community based event organization, has worked with venues for more than six years and has created its own events since 2019.

After the height of the pandemic, Madden said he wants patrons to feel a sense of community in a new age of normalcy.

"It's been a rough couple of years," he said. "I just want everyone to get back out there, have a good time and just feel at home again."
