Long Island Fair Opens Friday in Old Bethpage

The Long Island Fair opens Friday at the Old Bethpage Restoration Village and runs for two consecutive weekends.

The festival offers a range of attractions, including exotic animals, prize-winning livestock, carnival rides and traditional live music.

The fair, one of America’s oldest agricultural festivals, is a family-friendly festival offering a range of attractions, including exotic animals, reptile shows, pony and carnival rides, as well as traditional live music.

“The Long Island Fair is a local tradition and one of the truly special family events that takes place each year,” said County Executive Edward Mangano.  “In our technology driven age, this event allows children and parents to connect with the sort of recreational activities that people enjoyed in an earlier and simpler time in America.”
