We hope everyone has a wonderful
time discovering Sheepshead Bay at
BayFest!
We thank all of the great volunteers,
local and those from New York Cares,
as well as everyone from the top down
who has been part of the B.I.G. family
team, working without pay to make
this event possible. Special thanks to
our Commander sponsors, Kings Auto
Group, Central Park Medical Practice
and Lazarus Enterprise.
We also thank all our Captain and
Lieutenant sponsors and elected official
supporters for our 28th BayFest,
and we hope you’ll thank them, too,
for supporting our community. Please
also visit Stella Maris Fishing Station,
the power of BayFest, and support
our local businesses and non-profits,
especially those that came or gave to
make BayFest possible.
So grab family and friends and
come on down–no tickets or registration
needed! Enjoy the music, entertainment
and tables along the piers,
eat and drink at our fabulous restaurants,
patronize local Sheepshead Bay
shops, and take part in the only event
of its type in all of New York City:
BayFest 2019. Come early and stay all
day. And pick up an Arizona Iced Tea
and raffle tickets while you’re here!
Please help keep the Bay clean, too,
and don’t litter. And become part of
B.I.G.! Stop by the B.I.G. table near
the Main Stage and join your B.I.G.
Sheepshead Bay coalition family. Say
“Hello Sheepshead Bay!”
