Update on Magical Mineola Activities
Due to the recent equine health outbreak, the difficult decision has been made to cancel pony rides for this year’s Magical Mineola festivities. This precautionary measure is being taken out of an abundance of caution and with the health and safety of the animals as our highest priority.
All other activities will continue as planned, and we look forward to welcoming you for a festive and memorable weekend. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our community—and our animals—safe.
