A Taste of Port Jefferson Returns For 5th Year
More than 30 vendors pack the Port Jefferson Village Center on Oct. 20.
This year will be the 5th year the Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring A Taste of Port Jefferson. This popular event is held at the Port Jefferson Village Center located on the waterfront in Harborfront Park, lower Port Jefferson village.
With over 30 food and beverage vendors this eating frenzy is on Oct. 20 from noon to 4 p.m. and you are guaranteed to be satisfied with the diverse selection of foods.
Covering all three floors of the Village Center, ticket holders may "graze" to their heart’s content or when they can’t possibly put another sample of food into their mouths and their stomachs scream for mercy.
