NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - September 18, 2009) - If you're looking for a great place to spend a September weekend, Long Island's International Festival is the place to be! This fun-filled Festival will take place on Friday - Sunday, September 18-20, 2009 along the seaside beach at Babylon's beautiful Tanner Park in Copiague. Admission is free.

The festival will feature an exhilarating carnival, live musical entertainment, pirate show, "Ocean View Craft & Gift Show," a dog themed canine fashion show, Pizza Eating Contest and numerous other exciting activities including Game Crazy's Gaming Tent.
