Rockaway Hotel Hosts a Fall Fest

The Rockaway Hotel is all decked out for fall and on Sunday, October 19, they welcomed the community and guests to come together for a Fall Festival. The event included vendors selling everything from clothing to jewelry and candles to baked goods. There was also arts and crafts for all ages including painting crafts for kids and pumpkin decoration for adults, face painting with Ste.FUN.IE, food for purchase such as a variety of chilis and gelatos, live music by Cornerstone, and even a pie making contest, judged by baking pros John Pagano of Fat Cardinal Bakery and Tracy Obolsky of Rockaway Beach Bakery, who decided Raquel Confection’s decorated brown butter sweet potato bourbon pie couldn’t be beat.
The Rockaway Hotel will host its next festival on Sunday, November 9, when they bring back more of Rockaway’s eateries under one roof for the second annual Rockaway Food Festival. Tickets are now on sale at therockawyhotel.com
