I recommend you to bring a jacket since it can get chilly at night.

This was my first time attending the Oyster Festival in Oyster Bay (and first time in Long Island)!…read moreIt's nice that there aren't any tickets required for entry, though it is a long haul from NYC. We came on a beautiful Saturday and were super excited to get fresh oysters and (or so we thought) for cheap! It's a nice venue by a school and park right by the bay, and it gets very very crowded, especially in the afternoon. There are some nice craft vendors, but my partner and I were really excited for the food. The seafood options were good, but much more limited than I thought. There was only one vendor selling oysters, and the only mode of preparation was raw (nothing grilled or otherwise more creative). I was pretty surprised by how steep the pricing was, though I'm glad the proceeds go back to the community in some form (6 oysters for $20). I was a bit disappointed by the quality of some of the oysters we got for that pricing, as there were some that were pretty small, flat and not as high quality. The other seafood options were good, and I really enjoyed a fried coconut shrimp kebab that was $25. Overall, it's a nice festival vibe and well managed, just pricey and some of the food quality around the star oyster was not quite up to expectations! I am giving it an extra star because it's by the water and the town was super quaint and beautiful!

We always start with a lobster roll, which unfortunately go up by about $5 per year (they're now at $30 apiece, so not sure if we'll be keeping that part of our tradition). Then we go through the tents to see if there's anything worth buying, and off to the beer tent for a few, and then we gorge ourselves on other delicacies. There's always a woman selling fudge there who I always hit up for a few chunks to take home with me. This year I had a foot long hot dog for $6 from a German place. It was excellent. We'll definitely be back next year, just maybe not eating anymore lobster rolls, as $30 each for 5 people gets a bit steep very quickly.

This carnival gets crowded the later it gets, so I recommend getting there mid-afternoon. It is a lot of fun for what it is, especially for kids. Make sure you bring lots of cash for your food and other things you might want to purchase. I did see one ATM available but don't take any chances.

Immediately upon entering I was greeted with the hypnotic smell of buffalo wings. The nutty Irishman converted the interior of their bar/restaurant into a chicken wing convention center. Two floors plus an outside patio area dedicated to the two of life's greatest party foods, wings and beers. I decided to walk through the entirety of the venue before starting my wing enjoyment. So many different places offering so many different and distinctive and delicious chicken wings. Everything from your traditional buffalo wing to A chicken wing with a chocolate raspberry sauce. For the most part, all of the wings were unique and delicious however there could be only one winner. My favorite was the traditional Buffalo style wing made by Tony. Delicious in all of its simplicity the wing it's self was plump and perfectly cooked with just enough buffalo sauce on it as not to mask the flavor of the wing. This was an excellent and well planned event and I look forward to returning to it next year.!

It's all about imagination and collaboration. I can't recommend this venue enough to bring your children and grandchildren. They will be mesmerized, by the characters, color and light around them. This is also a photo paradise for families. There are just so many opportunities here where to point your camer (or phone.) KUDOs to the team here at Eisenhouwer Park and Luminocity.

Once you get in it is overcrowded with only one money grabbing vendor selling way overpriced pickles to throngs of fools waiting another 30-45 minutes to get served. There are lots of vendors setup selling all sorts of things from insurance to pens, having nothing to do with pickles. I have never in my life hoped a small family business would collapse until now. These people should be ashamed of themselves and are a blight on Long Island community. You will have a better time sitting in your basement with a jar of pickles.
