Long Island Winterfest 2018 is weeks away, from February 22 through March 18. The mid-winter music, wine, and art festival brings big-name musical acts and special events to Long Island’s north and south forks. Local wineries, breweries, restaurants, artists, performers, and more all get in on the act. Don’t miss it!
Long Island Winterfest is an annual, multi-week music festival featuring the best jazz, blues, soul, rock, and country music east of NYC. More than just a music festival, Winterfest is also an opportunity to sample some of Long Island’s wine and food scene. Events will be held at various venues, including North Fork and South Fork vineyards, tasting rooms, craft breweries, and restaurants.
