From sunrise to sundown last Saturday, Sept. 14, the air echoed with the rhythmic beat of drums, punctuated with bursts of cheers and shouts when they hit their last thump. Three aquatic dragon boats raced across the water, while vibrant red and yellow foam dragons soared among the scattered greenery of Port Jefferson’s Harborfront Park.
The typically tranquil village is transformed into a lively scene straight from a dragon fantasy novel as The Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce hosted its 10th annual Dragon Boat Race Festival.
The festival brought together 20 teams made up of 20 paddlers, a steersman and a drummer, to compete in three racing heats that included two qualifying rounds and a championship round. The three-lane course ran 250 meters or approximately 820 feet.
Aside from the main attraction, there were all-day cultural performances and contests, local food trucks, vendors and family-friendly activities, creating a vibrant atmosphere for all attendees.
“It’s great to take advantage of our harbor to bring people together,” said Barbara Ransome, chamber director of operations. “It’s wonderful to celebrate our community’s culture and our differences. There’s nothing like it.”
Aside from the main attraction, there were all-day performances from the many talented organizations like the Long Island Chinese Dance Group and Taiko Tides Japanese percussion.
From the two qualifying heats, the top 12 with the lowest times made it to the championship round, which included four divisions. The teams that won gold were JPMorgan Chase’s Azure Dragons in Division I, Port Jefferson’s Rowing Club in Division II, Gregory Weyerhaeuser Piasecki Family in Division III and St. Charles Hospital’s Keeping the Faith in Division IV.
For the GWP Family, this race wasn’t just to get into the competitive spirit but to remember their uncle and cousin Piasecki who recently passed away.
The event continues to grow in popularity each year, drawing not only Long Island local teams but also participants from the greater New York area, according to Ransome.
For other teams, the waves and competition wasn’t the only challenging part of the races. “While it was physically exhausting, it was also [hard] controlling the emotions,” said Larry Ryan, one of the rowers for the Port Jefferson Dragons. “We’ve been together on the same team for nine years and we [raced initially] for the comradery, but now we do it in memory and to honor two people that are no longer with us.”
Even though the Dragon Boat Race Festival is significantly important in Chinese culture since it celebrates the life of patriotic Warring States Prime Minister and poet Qu Yuan, it is a festival all cultures can enjoy. Strolling through the park, attendees could hear a melody of the various different languages spoken around them like English, Chinese, Korean, Hindi and even the barks from the four-legged and flurry visitors.
“The amount of people and the enjoyment [the festival] brings, it’s always a good day,” said Denise Yazak, a science communicator at the Brookhaven National Lab and the team’s drummer. “I always meet new people and the sense of community here is really exciting.”
One of the highlights of the day was the mesmerizing lion dance performance by Authentic Shaolin Kung Fu, which captivated both children and adults alike. As the brightly colored lions danced their way through the crowd, their playful antics brought bursts of laughter and shrieks of delight from the younger audience members.
The lion dance is a traditional Chinese dance believed to bring good fortune and chase away evil spirits.
“The dance we did today is similar to what we do on Chinese New Year,” said Chris Quintero, an advanced student who has been training for about eight years. “A big part of [training] is being authentic to the culture and trying our absolute best in paying respect and being accurate to the culture.”

This past Saturday, Sept. 7, the Port Jefferson Yacht Club and Village of Port Jefferson held their annual Village Cup Regatta to raise money and awareness for Mather’s Palliative Medicine Program and the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research. Anyone interested was allowed to be a crew member on the sailboats, with no experience required.
The event included multiple activities throughout the day, with two main parts: a parade followed by a race. The parade ran from the outer harbor on the west across to the waterfront on the east. In the race, participants from the Village of Port Jefferson and Mather Hospital competed as part of the Village Cup Charity Fundraiser.
The parade allowed teams to circle the port on their boats, all of which were decorated with flags and banners, and wave to the large crowd of guests as a prelude to the race. Families gathered on the docks to view the parade, which was managed by Port Jefferson Yacht Club staff and accompanied by bagpiper Marty Sexton. The parade lasted about 45 minutes and helped the sailors adjust to sporadic wind patterns throughout the day.
Despite overcast weather and sudden rain, sailors and guests had a great time, creating memories of a lasting tradition likely to continue in years to come. Rain began shortly after the parade and continued lightly for a couple of hours. Fortunately, the showers did not interfere with the race, and sailors proceeded as planned.
Port Jefferson Yacht Club Village Cup Regatta Committee member Dianna Stackow managed the setup process for the post-race gathering. “We are here to set up for the party that happens after the race,” she said. “They have speeches, raffles, food, wine, beer; Ralph Macchio will be here, and some government representation.” The party began around 3:30 p.m., welcoming guests and participants as they finished the race and celebrated another year of the tradition. “This is our 15th year, and we are going to break $1 million [in donations]. We’re very proud because we’re such a small club, so it’s such a large thing for us to do. It’s just such a good feeling, all around, everyone, our little club, you know, close together, and it’s nice to see what we accomplish.”
After an exhilarating race, participants, families, and guests gathered at a party in the Port Jefferson Village Center to celebrate their efforts and the successful fundraising brought by this year’s regatta. Celebrity ambassador Ralph Macchio has supported the regatta — along with the two programs funded by it — for the last 10 years. He was present at the event this weekend, along with many returnees who have helped uphold this tradition for the past decade and a half.
The friendly competition ended with the Village of Port Jefferson team winning.

An annual race proves it can go the distance.
The organizers of the ShopRite Run the Farm 4-mile Run/Walk, which benefits Bethel Hobbs Community Farm in Centereach, will celebrate the event’s 10th anniversary on Saturday, Aug. 10. Brookhaven Town Clerk Kevin LaValle and Brookhaven Town Councilman Neil Manzella will co-host the annual challenge that ShopRite of Selden is sponsoring.
LaValle, former councilman for Brookhaven’s 3rd Town Council District, said he was pleased when Manzella expressed interest in helping to organize and host the race when he was elected to fill LaValle’s vacant seat last year.
Manzella said he’s happy to help and bring the race to the next level.
“Kevin has done such a fantastic job,” the councilman said.
He described the farm as a “hidden gem.”
“The 3rd District where I live is a very developed district, very business-oriented district, so to have this little farm tucked away in the middle of it, it’s just a nice change of pace,” Manzella said.
Before his tenure in the Town of Brookhaven, LaValle worked with the late Suffolk County Legislator Tom Muratore. He said that after the two visited the 11-acre community farm and met with its founder and director, Ann Pellegrino, they knew they had to help.
“Tom and I got back into the car after taking the tour, and literally, at the same moment, we both looked at each other and said, ‘We need to do something for this place,’ because that’s how much of an impression that first tour really meant to us,” LaValle said.

He added that while Muratore initially was able to secure county grants for the farm, when Suffolk County had to tighten its budget, the legislator couldn’t acquire the same funding he once did. LaValle, at the time a councilman, sat down with Pellegrino and discussed the idea of hosting a race, the proceeds of which would benefit the farm.
“It turned out to be a big hit,” Pellegrino said. “We get a good number of people, and they help us raise funds that go directly into the farm allowing us to do what we need to do.”
The farm provides produce for those experiencing food insecurity in the community. Over the years, it has also added an educational element where students can learn about farming. Volunteers help grow from 70,000 to 100,000 pounds of food donated to more than a dozen food pantries throughout the Island. The farm also has a stand where visitors can buy vegetables.
Recently, Pellegrino said one food pantry, which feeds more than 100 families over the course of a few days, stopped by for 200 bunches each of collard greens and Swiss chard.
She added that many race participants tell her they never knew the farm existed, and some have come back to visit. Others work for companies that will organize ways to give back to the community farm, whether by donating funds or physically helping out, after they hear about it from their employee.
“We get all walks of life and all age groups,” she said. “It’s pretty impressive seeing older runners run it when I know I can’t.”
Pellegrino, LaValle and Manzella all said they have never run in the race. While the elected officials mingle with participants as they cross the finish line and assist those representing community groups, such as Girl Scouts who hand out water, Pellegrino works at the farmstand. She said this year, she will have help and will be able to be at the start line, something she has only been able to do once since the event started.
Manzella said he would like to run in the race one day, especially after seeing his chief of staff, Thomas Heinlein, participate in the challenge and receive a trophy. The councilman added that last year, he was surprised that in the time it took him to walk from the starting line at Oxhead Elementary School to the farm, a shorter distance than the overall race path, someone was already approaching the finish line.
The race includes two miles of even terrain followed by two challenging miles, which include a mile of gentle slope followed by two demanding climbs. Runners begin at the elementary school, travel through the streets of Centereach and end at Bethel Hobbs Community Farm.
“It’s a challenge, and it’s a beautiful course,” LaValle said. “Runners love it. It’s through the streets of Centereach, so it’s very shaded throughout a lot of the course.”
On average, more than 250 runners enter the race, and approximately 100 to 200 people come to cheer participants on, the town clerk said. In each age group, there are awards for the top three runners, and there are also special recognitions, including awarding the fastest runner who is an active or past member of the military. People come from all over the Island to enter, LaValle added. In 2019, two winners, a father and son, were from France.
Soon after Run the Farm was created, it was made official by USA Track & Field and timed and kept track of like other official races. This year is the first time the 4-mile run/walk will have a lead sponsor, ShopRite of Selden. LaValle said Charles Gallagher, president of Gallagher Family Markets, which owns the supermarket, donated money to the event in previous years. One day while shopping, LaValle was talking with Gallagher, and he decided to be a lead sponsor to show his support for the community event.
Pellegrino said she’s grateful LaValle approached her about organizing a race 10 years ago.
The funds raised help with general expenses and larger projects. In the past, proceeds from the race have been used to repair the barn roof, update the irrigation system and construct a wheelchair garden. In the future, she said the farmstand will need some work.
“It’s just a tremendous help when the community comes together to support what we’re doing the way we’re doing it,” Pellegrino said.

The 29th annual Stony Brook Film Festival, presented by Island Federal Credit Union, wrapped up with its closing night awards ceremony on July 27.The evening recognized the outstanding new independent films screened at the festival, which was held at Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University from July 18 to 27.
This year’s festival brought together hundreds of directors and filmmakers and featured 36 films from 19 countries of which 13 standouts received awards.

Mediha took home the Grand Prize Award. Directed by Hasan Oswald, this masterful documentary chronicles the journey of a young Yazidi girl returning from ISIS captivity. Using her camera to process her trauma, she documents her experience while rescuers continue to search for her missing family members. The Grand Prize is given to films that have ‘wowed’ both the audience and the jury beyond what could be contained in the simple phrase ‘best film’ in this or that category. Mediha is the 11th film in the festival’s 29-year history that has received a Grand Prize and only the second time awarded to a Documentary Film.
Two short films won the audience’s hearts, resulting in a tie for this year’s Audience Choice Award for Best Short. The winners for this category included two of the youngest filmmakers to win an award in the 29-year festival history. Mimesis, a drama about a struggling alcoholic actor who finds solace in an audition for the role of therapist, and On the Paths Awakened, a WWII-era story of two French teens facing intimate conflicts as the resistance recruits them. The festival’s youngest filmmakers directed the two winning short films: 20-year-old Zach Finger from Long Island and 19-year-old Axel Dahan from France.
One feature that truly captivated the audience was Running on Sand, which took home the Audience Choice Award for Best Feature. Adar Shafran directed this heartfelt crowd-pleaser about a refugee from Israel who, facing imminent deportation, is mistakenly identified as a Nigerian soccer star at the airport. The film highlights the precariousness of refugees’ lives, the power of second chances, and the complex intersections of identity and survival.
The Spirit of Independent Filmmaking Award is for filmmakers who use a distinct indie perspective to bring their stories to life vividly. It is reserved for filmmakers who have created a standout film with very few resources, financial or otherwise. “When it looks and sounds great, plays great, creates its own world, and you would never suspect how hard the filmmakers worked to bring it to life on screen, then you’re watching the kind of film we give these awards to,” said Festival Programmer, Kent Marks.
Daughter of the Sun secured the honor of this year’s award. This vintage-feeling, breathtaking fantasy tells the story of a man with Tourette’s Syndrome and supernatural powers and his 12-year-old daughter navigating life on the run.
The festival also announced that one of the films received an especially rare award in the 2024 Dr. Gabriel Sara Humanitarian Award. In 2022, the Stony Brook Film Festival created an inaugural prize in honor of Dr. Gabriel Sara, who worked wonders in cancer at Mount Sinai in New York by treating patients with dignity through song, dance, and teaming up with some of the most caring individuals in healthcare. He went on to play a role not unlike himself in the film opposite Catherine Deneuve.
This year, the festival hosted a non-competing sneak preview of the film. Titled Audrey’s Children, it tells the story of Dr. Audrey Evans, who brought new treatments to pediatric cancer patients in the U.S. and went on to co-found The Ronald McDonald House.
The Jury Award for Best Short went to Where We Belong, the Jury Award for Directing given to Mastergame, and the Jury Award for Best Feature went to The Strangers’ Case. (To listen to a podcast interview with The Strangers’ Case writer and director Brandt Andersen with TBR News Media reporter Daniel Dunaief, visit www.tbrnewsmedia.com.)
Mastergame director Barnabás Toth, who attended the awards ceremony, said, “Being here as a filmmaker is special. Coming here is like a therapy, a cure for any kind of artist because people who create are appreciated here. So please continue to keep it that way.”
The Festival’s Opening and Closing Night Feature and Short films were also recognized, including Director Aexandre Arcady of The Blond Boy From the Casbah (Opening Night Feature), Christopher Doll, Director/Producer and Karoline Herfurth, actress of One Million Minutes (Closing Night Feature), Daniel Rashid, Director of Chauncey (Opening Night Short), and Tathagata Gosh, Director of If (Closing Night Short).
In addition to Island Federal’s generous support as presenting sponsor, additional sponsors for the Stony Brook Film Festival included News 12 Long Island; Campolo, Middleton & McCormick, LLP; Suffolk Arts and Film; Strata Alliance; and WLIW/PBS.
