Rain or Shine: Milagro Lights Up Our Summer Concert Series

On August 3rd, our Summer Concert Series came alive with the infectious sounds of Milagro! Despite the unexpected rain, the energy was fantastic as everyone danced and sang along to the Santana cover band, turning the night into an unforgettable celebration.

Even when the rain forced us to shut down the main event, the spirit of the crowd didn’t dwindle. Attendees lingered, soaking up the camaraderie and good vibes, proving that great music can weather any storm. A heartfelt thanks to Milagro for their phenomenal performance and to Bad “S”moothies Food Truck for serving up delicious treats that kept our spirits high.

But the fun isn’t over yet! We still have two amazing concerts left in our Summer Concert Series. Join us this Saturday, August 10th, at 7 PM for a performance by the band Easy Street at Soldiers and Sailors Field in East Moriches. Then, don’t miss our grand finale on August 17th, featuring the band Sitting Ducks at Clayton Huey Elementary School in Center Moriches.

We look forward to more nights filled with music, laughter, and community connection. Until next time, let’s keep the rhythm alive! 🎶❤️🌧️

The Chamber of Commerce of the Moriches Spring Festival Recap

On June 9, 2024, The Chamber of Commerce of the Moriches threw its annual Spring Fair, a lively event that braved the rainy and windy morning weather. Despite the rough start, the day turned into a fun-filled late morning and afternoon, buzzing with community spirit and engagement.

The awesome martial arts performances by the kids from Empower Martial Arts & Fitness brought a cool kick of athleticism and excitement to the fair. The local children wowed the crowd with their impressive skills, giving everyone a good time. Even with the rain and wind causing trouble in the morning, the performances were spot-on, adding an extra level of challenge and bravery to the show.

Bank Street Park became a hub of culture during the fair, hosting an art show that showcased the creativity and talent of local artists. Visitors could check out and buy unique pieces of art, adding a splash of artistic flair to the event.

A major highlight of the day was the Annual Strawberry Festival fundraiser hosted by CMFD Company One, where folks savored delicious Strawberry Shortcakes donated by Nettie’s Bakery for a good cause. The fundraiser not only pleased taste buds but also highlighted the community’s generous and supportive spirit.

Despite the rocky start with the weather, the Spring Fair transformed into a memorable gathering that embraced the diversity and liveliness of the community. From great music to the martial arts performances and the artsy vibes of the art show, the event created a space for making connections, having fun, and celebrating together.

The Chamber of Commerce of the Moriches’ Spring Fair embodied the community’s resilience, togetherness, and creative spirit. As people mixed, shopped, danced, and laughed together, the day echoed with shared joy and experiences that strengthened the community bonds. 

Our next fair will be out Fall Festival, which will be held on October 20th!

Don’t forget to join us for our Summer Concerts this July through August taking place in both Center Moriches and East Moriches.

We hope to see you there!
