WinterFest to Return to Southold
Pictured Above: The Rob Europe Band will play on the Southold Village Green from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Downtown Southold will come alive again this President’s Day Weekend with the second annual WinterFest along the Main Road on Saturday, Feb. 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The event, free to all residents and visitors, will have many exhibits featuring local businesses and organizations. It will also include live entertainment, free food and beverages, activities for adults and children, special events and prizes.
“In 2021, we started talking about developing a winter event to support our local businesses and provide something fun and exciting for both visitors and Southold Town residents,” said Jack Malley, chairperson of the Southold Town Economic Development Committee. In 2022 we created the template for this event, which attracted over 30 organizations and hundreds of visitors. That enabled us to create a solid launching pad for the 2023 event. We expect participation to double this year. An experienced operations team is in place and we already have participation commitments from many more local businesses and organizations.”
