🎩 Sponsor Spotlight: Rick Ammirati 🎩

If you’ve been to Hangarfest before, chances are you’ve seen Rick Ammirati - and chances are you remember exactly what suit he was wearing. 😎

Rick is the founder of Prince Public Relations & Productions and the publisher behind Happenings Magazines serving Holbrook, Holtsville, and Ronkonkoma. He’s also Vice President of the MacArthur Business Alliance! Through his work, he has spent years highlighting local businesses, celebrating community success stories, and giving back to the place he’s always called home.

But beyond everything he does professionally, Rick has become a huge part of the Hangarfest experience. Year after year, he brings incredible energy, unwavering support, and a personality that helps make this event feel truly special.
We’re grateful to have Rick back with us again for Hangarfest 2026 and can’t wait to see him connect with attendees, support fellow local businesses, and, of course...

👀 Reveal this year’s suit.

Trust us - it’s always a crowd favorite.

Thank you, Rick, for everything you do to help Hangarfest stand out year after year. ✈️🔥
