As individuals who love and support our local community in Riverhead, New York, we recognize the enormous impact that the Craft'D Bar and the 'Alive on 25' & 'HalloweenFest' events have on our lives and local businesses. The Craft'D Bar is not just a bar to me and many others; it is our social gathering spot, our refuge, a place where memories are made. Losing it would mean losing an integral part of our community.

Just as significant are our beloved street fairs, Alive On 25 and HalloweenFest. These events have been the highpoints of our community gatherings, bringing us together and bolstering our local economy. According to a study, local events like these boost local business revenue by as much as 35% (Source: Small Business Administration). But beyond monetary impact, they represent a time when our community comes together, celebrating life, culture and the essence of Riverhead itself.

This isn't a battle for just one bar or a couple of events. This is a struggle for the shared experiences that strengthen our community, for the places where we come together, and for the spirit of Riverhead that becomes more vibrant with each drink shared at Craft'D Bar, every smile exchanged at Alive On 25, and every scare enjoyed at HalloweenFest.

Together, let's ensure our beloved bar and events stay alive. Join our petition to save Craft'D Bar, Alive On 25, and HalloweenFest. Your signature is a step towards preserving the heart of Riverhead.
