Long Island Chocolate Blues
On September 19, 2012, Patchogue Long Island proudly joins major cities such as Dallas, Houston, Pittsburg, Tampa, Las Vegas, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Denver, Memphis, St. Louis, Nashville and many others throughout the United States, as host for the wildly popular and highly successful Chocolate Blues and Business Networking Festival! Now in its 9th year and currently in 50 major cities!
The Village of Patchogue was selected after an extensive search across Long Island for the best environment to launch “Long Island Chocolate Blues”. Patchogue’s growing music entertainment culture, and strong vision in support of business, community and long-term relationships makes it the best on Long Island from which to launch the first ever “Chocolate Blues” event in New York State!
