The East End Garden Festival, a benefit for Peconic Bay Medical Center and Operation International, will take place at Tanger Outlets in Riverhead from Tuesday, May 4, through Sunday, May 9.
The annual festival offers an array of annuals and perennials for sale, from flowers to shrubs and trees, all donated by nurseries and greenhouses from Long Island and farther afield. The event was initiated to support the mission of Operation International — formerly called International Surgical Mission Support — a nonprofit founded in Southampton that sends teams of volunteers on medical missions to impoverished areas around the globe.
This will be the 25th edition of the festival, which is coordinated by the Rotary Club of Riverhead, after what would have been the 25th annual festival was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic.
The hours will be 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. The address is 200 Tanger Mall Drive, Riverhead.
