Register now.  There are plenty of great opportunities for vendors and sponsors.  As one of the largest family festivals in the tri-state area, the LI Fall Festival offers great visibility, a way for you to reach thousands of Festival visitors and provides an abundance of exposure and an opportunity for great brand recognition.  

Volunteers – here is your chance.  A weekend of this magnitude could not happen without the many “behind the scenes” people.  Each year we look to the local community and businesses for support to make the magic happen.  One of the greatest needs is sufficient volunteers to ensure a safe and smooth event for all our guests – providing services such as set-up, security, ticket sales and parking attendants.  It’s a great way to show support for your community, see neighbors, mingle in a fun environment, network, and have a great time with friends!

Presenting Sponsor is Verizon.  Chief Sponsor is Newsday Media Group.  Supporting Sponsors include Blue Sky Amusements & Entertainment; Town of Huntington; Scripps Network; Volkswagen; Mercedes-Benz of Huntington; Community National Bank; Game ‘n Ride;  Harbor Design and Build Group; Home Deport; Cactus Salon; Astoria Federal Savings; Four Seasons Sunrooms; Suffolk County Dept of Economic Development; David Lerner Associates, Inc; AXA Advisors; North Shore Financial Group and Nightingale PR.  For more information about the Festival, to register as a vendor or sponsor or to volunteer, call 631-423-6100 or visit our website www.lifallfestival.com.
