Alive on 25

Crowds packed the streets of downtown Riverhead last night for the 2023 debut of the Alive on 25 summer street festival, capped off by a fireworks show after dark. Photo gallery.

The first Alive on 25 street festival of the 2023 summer season will bring fireworks, a car show and street vendors to Downtown Riverhead tomorrow night starting at 5 p.m..

The Riverhead BID once again has a full card of downtown events planned: Alive on 25 on four Friday nights, fireworks, Reflections- Art in the Park, Cardboard Boat Races, Halloween Fest, and a holiday parade and bonfire.

A huge crowd turned out for the 2022 debut of Riverhead's Alive on 25 summer street festival last night. Check out our photo gallery of the fun kickoff to the holiday weekend.

The free walkable street festival shifts to Fridays this year, with live music on multiple stages, local craft beverages, food trucks, street dining, vendors, local artisans, face painters, stilt walkers, jugglers and activities on Main Street and the Peconic Riverfront.

"Bubbelpalooza" returns to Alive on 25 tonight, part of a special "Kids Zone" in Grangebel Park, which will include activities, an LED show by Team Fun Circus and kids' movies. Plus on Main Street: Live music on six stages, craft beverages, food trucks, street dining and vendors, 5-9:30 p.m. in downtown Riverhead.

Tonight's festival was canceled because of the inclement weather forecast for the area.

The return of the Alive on 25 street festival and fireworks display drew thousands to downtown Riverhead Thursday evening. See photo gallery.

Main Street will be closed to traffic between 3 and 10 p.m. today for the Alive on 25 street festival and fireworks.

'Cruise Night' — along with the fireworks display— have been rescheduled for the July 15 Alive on 25 event.
