Inaugural Feast Fest at Cradle of Aviation
Local residents gathered at the Cradle of Aviation on Saturday for Nassau County’s first Feast Fest.
There were 20 food trucks selling a variety of foods, and 60 vendors selling their merchandise, from jewelry and personalized cups to video games and collectibles. They also had live entertainment, including a live radio show with Brian Anthony, “Orlando,” from 94.3 The Shark.
El Churro Entertainment Inc., a company founded by a husband and wife duo, Patrick Madden and Alyssa Brown, in 2019, organized the event. They have been putting on the Feast Fest at Great South Bay Brewery in Bay Shore every spring for the past three years, along with other events throughout Suffolk County, in response to the Long Island community opening back up after the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We started doing various night markets and food festivals and things like that just to give back to the community and give something fun for people to do following such a devastating time,” Patrick Madden, president and event director of El Churro Entertainment, said.
This summer’s Feast Fest was the first event El Churro held in Nassau County, and Madden aims to continue to grow his events.
“We’re going to hopefully continue to expand and bring more of our stuff over the Nassau,” he said.
