“It’s A Wonderful Life In Patchogue” is a weekend festival that takes place the second weekend of December. It is a 1940's themed, all-day affair, filled with holiday shopping, music, interactive events & live re-enactments inspired by the film.
There will even be events going into the evening and nightlife with the many restaurants Patchogue Village has to offer.
This family-friendly event will bring people
from throughout the island to Patchogue Village,
to celebrate community, collaboration, compassion,
integrity, and pride.
KEN DOBBINS
We are proud to honor Ken Dobbins as this year’s Grand Marshal for It’s a Wonderful Life in Patchogue! A proud Patchogue resident for nearly 30 years, Ken spent his career as a dedicated special education teacher at Sachem High School, where his passion for his students extended far beyond the classroom. He has also been deeply involved in community theater across Long Island as both a performer and director, sharing his love of the arts with countless audiences and fellow performers.
Known for his outgoing personality, deep love of family, and ability to make a friend just about anywhere, Ken embodies the warmth and community spirit that make Patchogue so special. We are thrilled to celebrate Ken and recognize the lasting connections he has made throughout our community.
