18 Feb Don’t Miss the Best Long Island Winterfest Performances
Hotel Indigo and other areas around the East End are finalizing Long Island Winterfest 2015 preparation. So, we want to make sure you are still up to date on everything about Winterfest. We wouldn’t want you to miss out! In the last blog, we featured the venues the Winterfest performances are taking place in. Now, we have all the information about who to expect during the six-week East End festival.
A total of 32 venues and wineries are hosting 128 Winterfest performances. So, you’re sure to find a performance you’ll love! Performances include musical genres such as jazz, blues, country, rock, soul, bluegrass and more.
You can even decide what performance to see based on where you want to go. If you’re interested in checking out vineyards, they have performances every weekend. Stop by for dinner at Bistro 72 or another North Fork restaurant and listen to some great talent. Plenty of hotels are hosting performances, like Hotel Indigo, so you can stay on the East End and celebrate Winterfest from dawn to dusk.
Hotel Indigo loves the talent we host during Long Island Winterfest. We have some of our favorite musicians that you have to check out!
Hotel Indigo’s Winterfest Performances

Vinny St. Marten & Seeing Eye Dog Band
Vinny St. Marten will deliver some great music at Hotel Indigo. Growing up, St. Marten used music to overcome many obstacles.
