First and foremost, it’s about the music! In addition to our nationally renowned headliners, the May Day “Mayday” Festival will feature two stages of live music performed by some of the region’s most celebrated bands. We’ll also have a Kids Zone with family friendly fun throughout the day!

Attendees 21 and over are invited to enjoy the great tastes of the award winning beer and wine options that will be available at the May Day “Mayday” Festival. We’re excited to have two of Long Island’s own wineries, Castello Di Borghese and Pindar, onsite to serve our festival goers their award winning wines. Plus, we'll have Blue Point Brewing Company serving a variety of beer! Each attendee will receive a reusable, commemorative cup with the purchase of beer/wine tokens. We hope you enjoy a little drink from our loving cup!

In addition to our live music offerings, the May Day “Mayday” Festival has been envisioned from the ground up to be a family friendly event. Our Kids and Family Zone will offer child-friendly music and entertainment, face painting, crafts, activities, and more! Wilderness trail tours and a nature scavenger hunt guided by NYS DEC and Suffolk County Park staff.  The best part is, all children 12 and under get into the festival for free! So feel free to bring the family along; after all, it’s a family affair!

Camping sites are available at Southaven Park. However, you must make camping arrangements and reservations separately through the Suffolk County Parks website. Should you elect to camp, please let festival organizers know. If we have a large group of campers, we may plan for shuttle service.

On top of event merchandise, attendees will have access to a curated selection of local artisans selling wearables, artwork, and more! Take a walk in the marketplace to support local business, and perhaps locate that something you were looking for.
