Town of Islip's Annual SeaFest was held at Bay Shore Marina, which was an ideal setting for Great South Bay area favorite, now in its seventh year. Festival attendees of all ages enjoyed food trucks, craft beer, pony rides, a petting zoo, beach games, and fun on the stunning Great South Bay, along with dozens of vendors selling handcrafted items and gifts. Live music from guest band J Haus kept the celebration lively, and visitors could dance the whole day without worries, as the Town offered free parking and admission.

Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter, along with Town council members Jim O’Connor, John Lorenzo, Jorge Guadron, Mike McElwee, Tax Receiver Andy Wittman, Town Clerk Linda Vavricka, Parks Commissioner Tom Owens, and Deputy Commissioners Deirdre Wahlberg and Carol Charchalis, were present to welcome attendees.
