MINEOLA, NY – After a breakout debut that drew over 12,000 attendees, the Long Island Nostalgia Fest is making its highly anticipated return. This year’s event promises an even bigger blast from the past, expanding into a two-day outdoor celebration of all things ‘90s, set for July 11–12 at Wilson Park in Mineola.

The festival will feature a full lineup of live music, food, skateboarding, cosplay, vintage shopping, and throwback activities aimed at recapturing the magic of a pre-digital era. With free admission, it’s a must-visit for anyone who grew up in the 90s – or wishes they had.

Highlights include:

  • Live performances from Long Island favorites including Calliope, Speakeasy, and tribute bands Serve The Servants (Nirvana) and Undone (Weezer), with more acts to be announced.
  • A 90s-style skateboarding competition hosted by Limitless Culture, offering a custom-built course, cash prizes, giveaways, and free skate lessons.
  • Retro pop-up shops, nostalgic snacks, themed cocktails, and immersive photo ops celebrating the fashion and icons of the era.
  • A Kid Zone introducing today’s generation to old-school fun, topped off by a firework finale on Saturday night.

Founded by Grace Kelly of LiPopUp Event Production and supported by the Village of Mineola, the event is backed by sponsors including Liberty Coca-Cola, Renewal by Andersen, D&B Engineers & Architects, Automated-Sales.io, and others.

The event runs from 4–9 PM on Friday and 2–9 PM on Saturday, with rain dates set for July 18–19.
