At the Spring Fest at the Samanea Mall, families came out to enjoy warm weather and plenty of attractions. Diana Meyer of Yummy Tummy4Life served Melissa Groneveldt and Catherine O’Keefe, both of Westbury, some locally made treats.

Warm weather and blue skies means its time for Long Islanders to get back outside. The perfect place for many to do that was the Samanea Mall last month, at their Spring Fest.

With plenty of local vendors, games and rides for families and kids to enjoy, the weekend of fun saw plenty of grounds. From local shopping to good eats and everything in between, there was something for everyone.

The summer fairs aren’t over at the mall though. Ahead at the end of this month on June 29 and 30, families can once again head out and enjoy the Summer Family Fun Festival. There will exciting activities throughout both days, including face painting, balloon animals, decision food and over 70 vendors with unique items for sale — ranging from candles to jewelry and more.

Entry to the fair is completely free, but there are additional charges of $20 for certain attractions. The mall is at 1500 Old Country Road, Westbury. For more information, EventBrite.com and search Samanea Mall.
