Complete chaos! The whole festival certainly is fun and the…read morevillage is awesome for putting it all together but holy heck it just gets too out of control. We started out with the chowder crawl which was right up my ally. $10 per person and there was about 8 or so restaurants go to for our chowder. The very first one we stopped at though was Tommys and low and behold they didn't have any ready yet. Oh well. We finished the run around town and marked down our winners and handed it in. Next was the doggy parade and that was when things really just became nuts. There was no instruction for the parade participants and everyone was just kind of wandering the streets. Then when we finished the constables were SCREAMING at us to get out of the street. Could have been done a little nicer! There was wine tasting, whiskey tasting and cheese tasting plus complimentary marshmallow roasting but I was just so done with all the idiots walking in the street and bumping into me and my dogs so we left. Not to mention directly next to the marshmallows were a bunch of tightly caged in farm animals :( the smoke from the fire was going right onto them!! Thats not right in my opinion. Next year hopefully it will be better organized and no farm animals please!

I come to this festival every year because it's right behind my house so why not…read more The entry fee is a measly $2 but there are always coupons floating around that offer two free entries per coupon. They have a few vendors here- mostly jewelry and women's boutique clothes and of course some commercial vendors trying to sell you new gutters LOL. They have a few rides...about 8 and every year 3/8 are made for us adults and that's it. Like why even bother lmao. The kicker however is that the bracelet is $25!!!!! What the hell? We never buy the wrist bands because of that. Otherwise they have music, a dance floor, food and a gambling tent which is fun.

When you check in you receive a map . you get the history and information of the maple tree.. They take you through the tapping and boiling down of the liquid into syrup. Then they put it on some homemade pancakes. Yum. Then they make maple candy. Then they sell some pure maple syrup to you. Totally enjoyable.

I've lived in the area for over twenty years and have seen the neighbors on Spring Sunday mornings buying flowers. They offer school bus tours to see this working farm. They'll show kids how to milk a cow, churn butter, pick strawberries and other country farm life duties. Me? I know it's a dangerous corner and when I see a line of cars I know someone not from the area is going to pull out and make a crazy u turn. Be careful in my neighborhood and enjoy the farm!

Although this festival has been around for years, this was my first visit on Sunday December 8th,…read more2024. It started off great as we were able to park in the Marina parking lot for free! This festival is geared toward kids and family fun! Pictures with Santa, roasting marshmallows, and ice skating. The Village Center was the site for the "Festival of Trees". Local business themed Christmas trees all decorated for the season. Vendors of all kinds set up their wares here as well as in various locations throughout the village. The highlight of the event are the performers who are dressed up in 19th century Victorian era costumes. Some are stationed at various points, giving out directions. Others are meandering around the village spreading Christmas cheer, "Happy Christmas to you both!" Many stop to talk to and take pictures with the children and their families. We heard they parade down Main Street and stop at the lighting of the Christmas tree. Both activities which I missed...no doubt buying something from a vendor! The weather was unusually balmy for December. It did not take away at all from the cheery Christmas feel. I wish I had known about this event when my children were younger, I definitely would have visited with them. Truth be told, Christmas is my favorite holiday! I had a wonderful time... I guess I'm just a kid at heart

When my kids were small, I would push the double stroller around Port Jefferson and talk with the…read moreDickens characters around town. What a pip! Then, I'd take the family to see A Christmas Carol at the theater. The street actors performed the play both forwards and backwards! Times were simpler then. The town allowed a roaring fire on Main St and provided sticks for the kids to roast marshmallows. This was my little town and we looked forward to this weekend. From the horse drawn carriages coming down Main St into port, it truly was an entertaining experience. Fast forward to 2019. From Newsday to News12 all saying come to Port Jefferson and experience the Dickens festival! Really? Over the years, I have seen people getting dressed like the characters?! On Saturday I run errands. I like to come into Port Jefferson and grab a specialty coffee at Starbucks. Starbucks during this weekend is slammed with tweens and parents drinking frappachinos. Parking? Forget about it, every spot is taken. Port Jefferson is a mad house with people trying to get a free marshmallow..... And why do you folks feel the need to get dressed like a Chimmey Sweep?? Dudes... really?? I'm knocking off a star. What was once nice memories are now dread when I get my coffee and dry cleaning. Nothing to see here folks, go to Sayville...

We especially enjoyed the olive oil/balsamic vinegar store. It's completely walkable with tons of pedestrian crosswalks. One day was not enough to explore all it has to offer. There are also public restrooms, so always helpful.

This is a really great little theater. No matter where you sit in this theater you can see…read moreeverything going on on stage, and the orchestra is excellent. Next time I think I would like to sit in that section. It's a little smaller, less seats and closer to the stage than where we sat. The play we saw was called, Half Time. It was a true story about older people who auditioned for the half time show for a basketball game. It was funny, entertaining and sad all at the same time. The actors did an amazing job. As far as the singing, some were better than others, but I think part of the problem was, some of the microphones were not as loud as others. It was still really awesome, and made the reality of getting older sobering and funny at the same time. I am not sure how long this show is running, but if it is still at this theater, you should go see it. I was able to only sneak two photos, since we weren't allowed to take pictures. I would go back to see other shows here. It's a great theater located in the great town of Port Jefferson!
