Need something fun for the kids? Here comes a street fair!

The third annual Nassau Boulevard Street Fair will be held Sunday, April 30 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., an event that draws plenty of families and kids in search of outdoor spring fun.

The event, hosted by the West Hempstead Community Support Association, will take place from Hempstead Avenue to Gaynor Place. There will be free ice cream to the first 500 kids under 12, vendors, a kids fun zone, live entertainment, and much more.

“The annual street fair sponsored by the West Hempstead Community Support Association is important to the community to bring families together in a festive setting,” said Maureen Greenberg, president of the association. “Families spend time not only outside at the event enjoying food trucks, children's activities and live entertainment, but meet neighbors and merchants during the event.”

Greenberg credited volunteers with making the event a much-anticipated highlight in the community.

“Without Santos Welti or Kim Graffeo, the Nassau County Auxiliary Police 5th Precinct Unit, and the Lakeview Fire Department, as volunteers we would be unable to give the community the opportunity for this event,” she said.

Student volunteers from the West Hempstead Secondary School help with setting up the fair, and cleaning afterward as part of their service graduation requirement. Greenberg said volunteers are what make the association able to provide events like the Nassau Boulevard Street Fair, with a reach into the entire community. Greenberg said 10 volunteers provide service to the more than 7,000 homes in the West Hempstead community.

“Without volunteers it is not possible to keep community events like this running and keeping our town clean and safe,” Greenberg said. “We look forward to meeting our neighbors at this event and hope that more will be able to volunteer some of their time for their community. People can also stop at the Community Support Association table to see how we are involved with the community and sign up to be a member.”

Vendors are still wanted for the fair. Call (516) 644-5615 or visit LIFairs.com for more information. The rain date is May 7.
