Hundreds of people gathered for Manhasset’s Al Fresco on Sunday evening to enjoy games, music and dining. Al Fresco began as a way to promote businesses during the pandemic but has evolved into a newfound tradition.

Manhasset Chamber of Commerce hosts Al Fresco, which is made up of four events on Manhasset’s Plandome Road. The final Al Fresco will be held on Saturday, Aug. 10.
