Not just a pretty face, Garden City is a culinary dynamo.

Things to Do

 

The close-knit community of Garden City is dedicated to the well-being of the village, and the result is a lively lineup of beloved events. The summer fun gets started with the long-running Belmont Festival, when residents flock to Seventh Street to celebrate the Triple Crown’s Belmont Stakes. The summer season continues to bring residents together with Friday Night Promenades. These themed parties (think Frank Sinatra and Christmas in July) provide fabulous food, activities for all ages, and fun for the whole family.

 

Plan a day of play at Saint Paul’s Recreation Complex, a multi-use facility featuring athletic fields, playgrounds, soccer clinics for little players, and a lovely gazebo for picnics.

And if you’re looking for a staycation, The Garden City Hotel awaits.
