The final Alive on 25 street festival of the summer takes place tomorrow along Main Street in Riverhead. Live music, dancing in the streets, lots of food served by downtown Riverhead’s restaurants, local craft beer and wine, artists, street vendors and a classic car show. What better way to spend the last Thursday in August?

The popular, family-friendly festival is sponsored by the Riverhead Business Improvement District. It starts at 5:30 p.m. and winds up at around 9:30.
