DEER PARK, N.Y. — Famous Food Festival, Long Island’s premier culinary and culture event, today announced the return of its flagship festival, running Friday, June 19 through Sunday, June 21, 2026, daily at Tanger Outlets in Deer Park, NY. Presented by C4 Energy, the three-day festival brings together more than 120 food and craft vendors serving food and crafts from around the globe, live music all day, family-friendly rides, and dozens of interactive experiences.
Now in its ninth year, Famous Food Festival has hosted more than 125,000 attendees across its events, building a reputation as the region’s go-to destination for global cuisine and culture. The 2026 edition expands on that legacy with an even deeper lineup of international flavors and entertainment.
Attendees can explore tastes spanning Maine lobster, Thai street food, Venezuelan empanadas, Japanese takoyaki, Nutella crepes, fried ice cream, and tanghulu, alongside spirit samplings from Twisted Cow Distillery, wine slushies from Ashley Lynn Winery (21+), and free energy drinks from C4 Energy. Beyond the food, the festival offers rock climbing, real axe throwing, bounce houses, a dedicated kids’ section with rides, VR experiences, psychic readings, group line dancing, cultural performances, henna, face painting, and red carpet photo ops.
Some festival highlights: Koma Sushi will host an All-You-Can-Eat Sushi Pass on Sunday, June 21 from 2 PM to 5 PM, featuring a live tuna cutting of a 150-pound imported bluefin tuna from Spain. Only 150 passes are available at $74.99, which includes complimentary VIP festival entry. Guests can also design their own custom cell phone case completely free, choosing from thousands of charms curated by Optimum. And for a true taste of the world, attendees can sample premium imported beef from Uruguay — fresh samples provided by the Uruguay Beef, expertly cooked by Famous Chef Timothy Clowers.
“Food is the most enticing expression of culture there is, and that’s exactly what we’ve built this festival around,” said Eric Arshravan, founder of Famous Food Festival. “Every year we bring the world to Long Island for one weekend — dozens of cultures, hundreds of flavors, and something to taste, sip, and experience around every corner. There’s nothing else like it in the region, and 2026 is our biggest yet.”
