PATCHOGUE
What Patchogue Is About
Once a quiet South Shore village, Patchogue has reinvented itself as a cultural hub packed with live-music venues, public art, and food festivals like Alive After Five that flood Main Street with bands, brews, and craft vendors all summer. Its waterfront location on the Great South Bay makes it both a nightlife center and a launch point for Fire Island ferries.
