Families flocked to the Wantagh Train Station on Saturday, May 17, for the 2025 Wantagh Spring Festival, hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Wantagh.

The free event stretched along Sunrise Highway between Beech Street and Oakland Avenue and offered a full day of seasonal fun.

Attendees enjoyed a large craft and vendor bazaar featuring more than 80 artisans, a LI Bites food truck rally, live music from DJ Greg and DJ Billy, and a Kids FunZone complete with bounce houses, inflatable slides, and a towering rock wall. The New York Islanders also brought their slapshot booth and giveaways. The first 500 children under 12 received free ice cream.
