A big attraction is the HarborFest Craft Fair featuring over 70 quality craftspeople. Their booths will be located along lower Main Street, near the waterfront of Manhasset Bay, making it one of the most picturesque Craft Fairs on Long Island. The HarborFest Craft Fair is sponsored by Precision Work, Inc.

As soon as you enter the dock, look for the Chamber of Commerce booth near the entrance. They will be selling reusable shopping bags and tee shirts with a very special design that celebrates the 30th Annual HarborFest. The beautiful tote bags can be used for all your HarborFest purchases and future shopping, and the tee shirts can be worn all summer.

Everyone is excited that the luxury yacht, Elixir, will be at HarborFest for the first time. On Saturday, June 4, Elixir will depart the Town Dock for two 40-minute Sunset Cruises at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. During HarborFest Dock Day, on Sunday, June 5, Elixir will depart hourly from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Reservations for all cruises may be made online at LIBoatRentals. com/TryPortFirst.

The Elixir cruises are sponsored by Long Island Boat Rental.

A highly anticipated event is the demonstration of the Port Washington Fire Department’s Fire Boat. It will be moored off the Town Dock for HarborFest and the demonstrations are sure to be exciting for all the festival goers.

Many lucky visitors can catch a free ride on the picturesque Long Island Trolley, sponsored by the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District (The BID.) The trolley will make a continuous loop from the train station to the festival area.

The large and popular HarborFest Family Fun Park is organized by The Parent Resource Center (PRC) and the Chamber of Commerce. Visit the PRC Fun Tent which always delights the children with lots of games and crafts. A highlight of the PRC activities will be a mini train—always a favorite! Oh My Goodness will have a special fun section for the littlest HarborFest visitors, and many Fun Park activities will be organized by other organizations and businesses to keep the kids happy all day!

The Fun Park also features free family entertainment all day on the Family Fun Stage. To start the day, The “Talented Kids of Port Washington” show will begin at 10:00 a.m. At 12:00 p.m. there will be a performance by the Olga Berest Dance Studio; Bach to Rock will take the stage at 12:30 p.m.; Voice Academy will perform at 2:00 p.m. The Family Fun Stage is sponsored by Anthony’s World of Floors, Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, Douglas Elliman Real Estate, Flatiron Pediatrics, Healthy Kids Pediatrics, Hogan Law Office, Mathnasium, Orangetheory Fitness and Sheehan & Company CPA PC.

Come hungry—you can feast all day at HarborFest!

HarborFest will showcase free live entertainment in front of the “Pride of Cow Bay” Tugboat Museum at the entrance to the Dock. Martial arts will take center stage with a World Tae Kwon Do demonstration at 11:30 a.m. At 12:00 p.m., Porch Light will offer fabulous entertainment, followed at 1:00PM by the great group Hat Trixx. The talented cast of the Red Stocking Revue will perform several fabulous numbers from Port’s favorite variety show, beginning at 2:00 p.m.. Port’s popular singers, Lions of Winter, will take the mic at 3:00 p.m. The Grand Finale performance will feature Port’s own Harmony Sky. The HarborFest live entertainment is sponsored by BEB Capital.

The mission of HarborFest is to promote environmental awareness and the HarborFest Committee offers free Enviro-Expo booths to organizations that promote the environment. There will be fascinating new hands-on demonstrations, special displays about Manhasset Bay and up-to-date information and products. Grassroots Environmental Education has organized a timely environmental education project about the dangers of plastics. They are introducing their new initiative, called PUPS (picking up plastic stuff) in Port Washington. Look for their creative display in the EnviroExpo area. The Environmental Education program is sponsored by Fathoms Hotel & Marina, the Sands Point Preserve Conservancy and Total Dollar Insurance.

HarborFest’s very own Port Hole Pete will be at the helm of the “Pride of Cow Bay” Nautical Museum,” where a new exhibit, “Seasonal Sunsets of Manhasset Bay,” A Collection of Sunset Photos by Jeff Stone, will be unveiled. The exhibit was curated by Debbie Greco Cohen (Strategic Planning & Communications) and contains spectacular photos of the Port Washington famous sunsets.
