The overall idea of beautification is to keep Manhasset and Plandome Road looking good for both businesses and our residential community. While first impressions are very important, beautification means our total concern for the physical and human quality we pass on to our children and the future here in Manhasset. The Chamber is looking for additional sponsorships to ensure that beautification continues. With the generous donations the Chamber decorates Plandome Road with seasonal flower baskets for our residents, businesses and visitors to enjoy for all seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter and the holiday season.  Visit www.manhassetchamber.com for sponsorship and donation opportunities for both campaigns.  Sponsorships for Hanging Baskets $150, Planters $300 and Beautification $50 include name recognition on Manhasset Chamber website. 

Manhasset Al Fresco is sponsored in part by the Town of North Hempstead’s Lift Up Local initiative to support local businesses following the coronavirus.  The Chamber is proud to bring it back again this Summer, with the assistance of Shop Manhasset’s Antonietta Manzi, and Co-President of the Chamber.  

Thanks to our generous sponsors, the Chamber is able to fund this event and make this year better than last!  This event helps bring up the community’s spirit as well as drive business to our local shops to lift up local.  

The event is hosted by The Manhasset Chamber of Commerce, who’s mission is to enhance the economic vitality and quality of life of our community and to promote the general welfare and prosperity of its member businesses.  Manhasset Al Fresco was also made possible with the cooperation of the Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Association, Nassau County Police District, and the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department.
