The beloved Alive by the Bay street festival series is officially returning to Bay Shore for summer 2026.
Organizers with the Bay Shore Restaurant Committee just announced the Tuesday evening dates that once again bring live music, food and drink specials, vendors, and family-friendly fun to Main Street.
This year’s lineup of festival nights is June 30, July 14, July 28 and Aug. 11. All four gatherings are set for Tuesday evenings, with festivities typically running from late afternoon into the evening.
A rain date of Aug. 11 has also been reserved in case weather affects one of the original dates.
Since its first run in 2017, Alive by the Bay has grown into one of Bay Shore’s most anticipated summer traditions, drawing residents and visitors alike to celebrate the season and the local dining scene. Keep an eye out for our annual Alive by the Bay guide with tips on bands, food specials, parking, and more as opening night approaches.
