LAMPPOST DECORATING FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Each year hundreds of Village residents volunteer to decorate the lampposts throughout Babylon Village for the holiday season.  The Babylon Beautification Society provides all of the decorations (tree roping, lights, red bow) and volunteers sign-up in advance to decorate a lamppost.  Each lamppost is assigned and volunteers are notified of a location to pick-up their decorations.  The volunteers are required to provide their own ladders to decorate their assigned lamppost.  Within a few hours Babylon Village is transformed into a winter wonderland for all to enjoy throughout the holiday season.

Since its inception, the Babylon Country Fair has become a tradition for thousands of Long Islanders. Organized by the Babylon Beautification Society, a non-profit organization, the Fair is held annually on the Sunday after Labor Day in and around Argyle Park. The Fair offers a broad variety of outstanding arts and crafts, a special section devoted to children’s games and attractions and a festival of food booths. Our mission is to support projects and initiatives that contribute to the beauty of Babylon Village. We work closely with local government and community leaders as well as hundreds of volunteers to complete this mission. All of our proceeds are used to fund beautification projects in Babylon Village.
