Freeport, a village in the town of Hempstead on the South Shore of Nassau County, is one of the most ethnically diverse towns in all of Long Island. It is also home to several prominent parks, including ones directly on the waterfront which gives access to the Atlantic Ocean via several historic canals. Most popular during the summer months, Freeport attracts people from all walks of life the first weekend of June each year for its annual festival on the "Nautical Mile". Here visitors enjoy eating oysters and other famous sea fare at restaurants with seating on the water's edge. Visitors can also enjoy party cruises and casinos on the canal, eclectic boutique shopping, crab shacks, fresh fish markets and so much more. Freeport is bustling with fun family activities!
