ListenUp! Spring Carnival Music & Arts Festival Set for Stereo Garden in Patchogue, Saturday, March 7, 2026

A new multi-act music and arts festival is set to arrive on Long Island this spring, bringing live performances, visual art, and carnival-style attractions to Patchogue.
The ListenUp! Spring Carnival Music & Arts Festival is scheduled for Saturday, March 7, 2026, at Stereo Garden, according to event organizers and ticket listings. The one-day event is being promoted as a combined live music and arts experience, featuring multiple performers alongside interactive art installations and vendors.
Organizers say the festival will include a full slate of live musical acts, with Allfires positioned as the headline performer. Additional artists listed on the lineup include JJ Hannon, Jules Walcott, Nikki Ann Silva, JOKR, RYVN, Victoria Said, MC Nobody, and performers affiliated with Young Creation Nation. The event is expected to feature a mix of rock, alternative, pop, and emerging independent artists.
Beyond music, the festival is also emphasizing its arts and visual components. Promotional materials indicate the event will feature live painters, artist exhibits, and projection visuals, alongside artisan vendors, food and drink offerings, and interactive elements such as games and giveaways. Organizers describe the event as a spring “carnival-style” atmosphere rather than a traditional concert.
The festival adds to Patchogue’s growing reputation as an arts and entertainment hub on Long Island. In recent years, the village has seen an increase in live music events and cultural programming, particularly in and around its downtown venues. Events like ListenUp! are increasingly being positioned as seasonal anchors designed to draw both local residents and visitors to the area during traditionally slower months for large-scale entertainment.
Tickets for the ListenUp! Spring Carnival Music & Arts Festival are being sold through Eventbrite, with general admission options currently listed. Additional details regarding set times, age restrictions, and vendor participation are expected to be released closer to the event date.
The March festival joins a growing list of live entertainment offerings scheduled across Long Island in early 2026, reflecting continued demand for locally hosted music and arts events.
