Port Promenade will be held on two Thursdays this summer on June 12 and July 17, 2025.
Sections of Main Street become a community-wide block party from 5:00 – 10:00 pm. Thursday, June 12 will be on Main Street between Library Drive and Central Avenue. The July 17 event will be on Upper Main Street between Port Washington Blvd and Mackey Avenue. The popular street festival brings activities and games for families to complement the shopping, live music, and outdoor dining. The organizing committee is planning fun activities, including a fashion show by My Style Camp on June 12 only, a silent disco on July 17 only, mini golf course, lawn games, and a Kids’ Messy Zone. Live entertainment by local musicians will be featured each evening with opening acts performed by students from local training and instructional schools. Of course, attendees can enjoy dining al fresco at participating restaurants and eateries in each zone. See the event details.
“Now in it’s 6th year, Port Promenade promises to a provide memory making event for families and friends who can come together to enjoy the best Port Washington has to offer.” says Holly Byrne, Executive Director of the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District. “The Port Washington BID is pleased to be a sponsor and organizer of the event and we love working with our planning partners at the Landmark on Main Street, the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce, and the PW Police District.

Landmark’s commitment to making the arts accessible aligns with the mission of Port Promenade to unite the people and businesses of Port Washington through shared activities and opportunities.”
