Saturday marked the 3rd Annual Back to School Celebration at Robert Rowley Park in Bellport, where the increasingly popular event was moved for the first time since starting out as a block party.
Volunteers and members of People Making a Difference, which founded and organized the event, had 350 new backpacks that were to be stuffed with school supplies and given away to local families.
They also provided food, drinks and bounce castles for kids.
Below are 20 photos from the afternoon.
