Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci (R,C,WF,I-Huntington Station) today is reminding residents that The Art League of Long Island’s Art in the Park Fine Art & Craft Fair returns to the scenic Heckscher Park in Huntington on Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1. The event will be held rain or shine, and is open to the public free of charge from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. both days. Admission is free for the entire family.
“Art in the Park is always a fun place to see the works of local artists, grab a bite to eat and spend some time with family and friends,” said Lupinacci. “Heckscher Park provides local artists with a tremendous place in which to display their works, and The Art League of Long Island puts in an incredible amount of effort to make the event a success. I encourage everyone to come out and see the sights and hear the sounds of Art in the Park.”
