The Babylon Beautification Society is thrilled to announce our 50th Annual Fair, which will take place at Argyle Park in Babylon Village. This milestone year promises to be unforgettable!

Join us at one of Long Island’s premier outdoor fairs, featuring over 300 talented craft makers. Meet local artists and makers who craft unique, handmade goods, including fashion, accessories, home decor, art, toys, jewelry, bags, food, and more. Their creativity and skill make our fair a vibrant and exciting event. In previous years, crowds have drawn more than 20,000 people.

Satisfy your culinary cravings at our “Specialty Food Market,” showcasing more than 35 vendors offering homemade delights such as baked goods, nut bars, jams and preserves, artisanal cheeses, honey, spices, hot sauces, and other condiments.

In addition to our diverse array of vendors, enjoy a variety of food options, beer and wine, and live entertainment around the Village Gazebo. Families will find a dedicated children’s section with activities at Bayman Park across the canal.

This event is our primary fundraiser, with all net proceeds funding beautification projects in Babylon Village. Run entirely by volunteers, the fair is a true testament to community spirit.

Join us at the Argyle Park & Gazebo fairgrounds, 244 West Main Street, Babylon, NY 11702, for a day filled with fun, food, and festivities!
