Dear Residents,
Summer is just around the corner in the Village of Lindenhurst, bringing with it longer days, warmer weather, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy everything our community has to offer. Whether you’re attending a local event, visiting our downtown businesses, spending time with family and friends, or enjoying our beautiful waterfront, there is no shortage of ways to make the most of the season.
This summer, we invite residents to take part in several exciting community events:
• Free Summer Concert Series – Every Friday and Saturday evening from June 26 through September 26, 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM: Join us at Village Square Park for live music, great entertainment, and fun for the whole family. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy summer nights in the heart of downtown Lindenhurst.
• Lindenhurst Farmers Market – Every Saturday, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM: Shop fresh produce, baked goods, specialty foods, and handcrafted items while supporting local vendors and businesses.
• Lindenhurst Liberty Day – Saturday, July 11, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM: Celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary with an afternoon of family-friendly activities, live entertainment, and community spirit in the heart of our Village.
As our parks, streets, waterways, and downtown become busier throughout the summer months, I encourage everyone to remain mindful of safety. Please watch for pedestrians, bicyclists, and children enjoying the outdoors, and always obey posted traffic regulations.
For those spending time on the water, remember that safe boating is everyone’s responsibility. Always wear or have readily accessible life jackets, avoid operating a vessel while impaired, be aware of changing weather conditions, and follow all navigation rules. Taking a few simple precautions can help ensure a safe and enjoyable boating season for everyone.
As the school year comes to a close, I would also like to recognize the members of the Class of 2026 who will soon be celebrating their graduations. Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance have brought you to this important milestone, and the Village of Lindenhurst is proud of your accomplishments. On behalf of the Village Board, congratulations and best wishes for a bright and successful future.
Our Village departments continue working hard to improve and maintain our community through infrastructure upgrades, park enhancements, beautification efforts, and the delivery of essential services. We remain committed to making Lindenhurst an even better place to live, work, and visit.

The Lindenhurst Veterans of Foreign Wars Wade-Burns Post 7279 recently celebrated its 80th anniversary with an Open House event that included a special ceremony honoring the Post, its Past Commander Thomas A. Kelly, and the Kiwanis Club of Lindenhurst’s “Hometown Heroes” Program.
On May 18, 1946, a group of 50 local overseas combat veterans established the Lindenhurst VFW Wade-Burns Post 7279. The Post was proudly named in honor and memory of Lindenhurst servicemen United States Army Corporal John M. “Jack” Wade and United States Navy Seaman First Class Edward J. Burns, who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War II.
Over the last 80 years, Wade-Burns Post 7279 has played a vital role in preserving the memory and sacrifices of America’s veterans through the observance of Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and other commemorative ceremonies within the Lindenhurst community. The Post has also been a steadfast supporter of veterans, youth organizations, civic initiatives, and charitable causes, including assisting residents and families affected by Hurricane Sandy.
In September 2019, the Post hall, located on North Delaware Avenue, suffered a devastating fire that forced it to close its doors. With assistance from the Village of Lindenhurst and the Town of Babylon, the hall was able to reopen in 2024.
In celebration of its 80th anniversary, the Post held an Open House welcoming the public to enjoy light refreshments while exploring the history of the VFW and viewing the recently renovated hall. The celebration also included a special ceremony recognizing Vietnam veteran Thomas A. Kelly for his five years of dedicated service as Post Commander (2019–2025) during the hall’s rebuilding effort, as well as the Kiwanis Club of Lindenhurst’s “Hometown Heroes” Banner Program for its inspired implementation and their continued commitment to this patriotic initiative, which has raised and donated more than $200,000 to veterans organizations.
The ceremony also featured patriotic song selections performed by local musicians Gerry Ferretti and George Formes, as well as a brief history of the founding of the Post presented by Village Historian Anna Jaeger.
Mayor Lavorata said, ““The history of Wade-Burns Post 7279 is deeply woven into the fabric of our community. This anniversary celebration recognizes not only the bravery of our veterans, but also the countless ways the Post has supported Lindenhurst families and organizations throughout the decades.”
