The mission of Friends of Mitchell Park is to support Village-approved cultural, educational and artistic activities that are open to the public without cost.
EVENTS IN MITCHELL PARK 2026
The Friends of Mitchell Park is a funding organization, offering financial support for Village-approved events in Mitchell Park. See our Request Funding page for instructions on applying for funding.
Not all events in the park are sponsored by the Friends of Mitchell Park. Check with the Suffolk Times, The East End Beacon, The North Fork Sun, Northfork Patch, the Northforker, the Greenport Village website, the BID website or other local event information sources for additional information.
Here is a summary of the 2026 events that we sponsored or supported so far - more to come!
Our Signature Event
Tai Chi In The Park
Have you noticed the signs at the Camera Obscura, and the fact that it's open more frequently? The Friends of Mitchell Park sponsored the signs and the staffing so this unique feature can be enjoyed by park visitors.
Free Carousel Rides
The Friends of Mitchell Park have been sponsoring free carousel rides for kids 12 and under several times a year. So far in 2026, we offered free rides in conjunction with the BID's Egg Roll and Magic Show, and after the Juneteenth celebration. There will be more opportunities throughout the year.
Matching Grant For the New Skating Rink
The Friends of Mitchell Park are sponsoring a matching grant for the fundraising being undertaken by the skating rink committee to bring a skating rink back to Mitchell Park.
The Friends of Mitchell Park are pleased to support the Clinton Memorial AME Zion Church and their partners to bring you performances at their Juneteenth celebration in Mitchell Park. Visit their website for details.
The Farmers' Market in Greenport started on May 23 - now on Saturday morning! Maybe do some Tai Chi at 9, then stroll over to the Farmers' Market for some local products. The Friends of Mitchell Park sponsor the music you enjoy during the market. Read about the Greenport Farmers' Market in this article in the North Fork Sun.
