Manhasset Al Fresco 2026:
Join us for two incredible summer evenings at Manhasset Al Fresco on June 7 and July 12, featuring outdoor dining, live music, family entertainment, and a celebration of the local businesses that make Manhasset such a special place to live, work, and visit.
Presented by the Manhasset Chamber of Commerce, Manhasset Al Fresco transforms Plandome Road into a vibrant community gathering place where residents can dine, shop, connect, and enjoy a fun-filled evening in the heart of town.
This year's events will feature:
• Outdoor dining from local favorites including Villa Milano, Herb & Olive, Angie’s, Greens Irish Pub, Gino’s, Umberto’s, Kiko Ramen, and more participating restaurants
• Live music by Raffi, Glenn Strange, County Line Band, and other local performers
• The annual Car Show hosted by Elite Auto Repair and Supreme Auto Detail
• Family-friendly entertainment including inflatable attractions, games, a video game truck, and the Kerboom Kidz Crew
• Meet-and-greets with the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department and an opportunity for children to explore a fire engine up close
What began during the pandemic as a way to encourage outdoor dining and support local businesses during a challenging time has grown into one of Manhasset’s most anticipated community traditions. Six years later, the mission remains the same: bringing people together while helping our local businesses thrive.
Each year, Al Fresco creates opportunities for local businesses to connect directly with residents, welcome new customers, and showcase what makes Manhasset unique. The event continues to grow not only in attendance, but in community spirit. By bringing neighbors, families, and visitors to Plandome Road, local restaurants are filled, storefronts are buzzing, and businesses receive valuable exposure and support.
The Manhasset Chamber of Commerce will also be selling limited-edition Manhasset GOAT USA apparel, with proceeds benefiting the Chamber’s Beautification Project.
The Beautification Project helps keep Manhasset and Plandome Road welcoming and attractive for residents, visitors, and businesses throughout the year. Through community sponsorships and donations, the Chamber funds seasonal flowers, planters, holiday décor, and streetscape enhancements that enhance the character and charm of our downtown district.
Beautification sponsorship opportunities are available:
• Hanging Baskets – $150
• Planters – $300
• Beautification Supporter – $50
Sponsors receive recognition on the Manhasset Chamber website.
Manhasset Al Fresco is sponsored in part by the Town of North Hempstead’s Lift Up Local initiative and made possible through the generosity of our sponsors, whose support helps the Chamber continue expanding this event year after year.
The event is hosted by the Manhasset Chamber of Commerce, whose mission is to enhance the economic vitality and quality of life of our community while promoting the welfare and prosperity of local businesses. The Chamber is grateful for the cooperation and support of the Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations, Nassau County Police Department, and the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department.
