The Hicksville Chamber of Commerce is hosting its 22nd annual Street Fair on Sunday, Sept. 14.
The fair will stretch along Nelson Avenue for nearly a quarter mile, running side-by-side with Newbridge Road just south of the Hicksville LIRR Station.
The community event will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is free.
Chamber President Charlie Razenson said the fair is a “big deal” for the community.
The street fair will feature 48 vendors, nine food trucks and several booths run by community organizations are expected to be in attendance, according to Razenson.
He said the event will also feature live music, a DJ, a merchandise bazaar, a mechanical bull, a rock wall and a Kids Funzone with lots of activities. The first 500 kids to come down will also receive free ice cream.
The street fair is typically held each year near Hicksville’s LIRR train station, but it had to be moved due to construction. The Hicksville Downtown Revitalization Initiative is set to bring several new developments to the area.
Razenson said the event will return to Festival Plaza in 2026, which he noted will also be the 250th anniversary of the United States.
“It’s going to be even bigger next year,” he said.
A rain date is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 28.
