A Riverhead, New York Festival Kicks Off A Saturday
August 22nd, 2007 category: Downtown Riverhead, People and Places, Riverhead Real Estate
When people visit our east end of Long Island, whether to consider moving here, or simply for a summer getaway, the offerings are abundant every weekend. This Saturday, we decided to visit the Riverhead Polish Fair. It occurs every year in Polish Town, Riverhead, New York, and it sounded like a fun adventure.
Parking at Riverhead High School, we made our way through the festival, noticing the green lawns of charming homes that are offered in this unique area- while small, their reminder of another period in time is very enticing. The lot sizes are small and easy to manage, and the decorative accents outside offer a warm feeling of cared for homes.
We were delighted at the abundance offered at this festival, and came to understand the large crowds that it draws each year. In addition to watching the Little Miss Polish Festival contest, with little girls adorned in the dresses of their ancestry, we ate…and ATE. The food offerings are amazingly rich, and the smell made it very difficult to pass each station without a good look.
Vendors throughout the festival offered anything from a “fake” designer bag, to those little creatures that fit, one inside the other- the name escapes me, but I love opening each one to discover the littlest wooden surprise. Scarves, sweaters and an assortment of clothing were found in abundance.
Noticing a wind as we finished up our visit, we decided to engage in another favorite activity after the festival- sailing. After getting rigged up, we headed out into the bay- the winds were amazing. In an odd weather idiosyncrasy, it was actually chilly- a welcome respite from the typical summer heat.
And thus, a typical weekend on the east end of Long Island- festivals, tag sales, great food, sailing…makes me wonder how I could live anywhere else!
