Mohegan Lake Motors opened as a small Volkswagen Dealership in 1969 on route 6. Our philosophy was... take care of all the small things and big things will happen. Treating our customers with respect and taking care of every need, and every detail no matter how small is what Mohegan Lake Motors has

has never changed. Doing business this way is just our way of life. Itʼs more than just a great deal which you get, itʼs a total experience which is why so many clients continue to come back to Mohegan Lake Motors year after year. Think small and big things will happen.

We are pleased to announce our first annual
SpringFest to be held on Saturday March 24, 2018 from 2:00 - 9:00pm at the Yorktown Firehouse Carnival grounds
Shake off those winter blues with an international celebration of Spring!
International Themed Vendor Opportunity Featuring:
● Ethnic food from different cultures from all over the Hudson Valley ● Live music and dance ● Fireworks to complement the theme
We are seeking food vendors to participate by providing a variety of dishes spanning different cultures. Attached you will find the Exhibit Space Agreement. We are also looking for activity oriented vendors and organizations to engage our attendees while promoting their business. The Yorktown Chamber of Commerce is excited about the opportunity to promote local businesses here in Yorktown, as well as provide exposure to other businesses that serve Yorktown’s residents from around the Hudson Valley.
A Unique Event to Showcase Your Business
We anticipate over 5000 people of all ages to attend as it will be the first large neighborhood event after the long winter season. Food vendor space will be limited as we are looking to provide variety and we are confident that we will sell out. With that in mind, we ask each vendor to make a conscious effort to put their “best dish” forward. Each vendor who participates will only be able to sell a particular dish or dishes as we want to promote a large number of foods from a mix of ethnic backgrounds.
We are looking to provide an experiential day by incorporating groups, companies and organizations who engage our SpringFest attendees in activities such as:
● Dance ● Art ● Music ● Other Cultural Activities
