Long Island Tailgate

Premier tailgating experience

Opening Day!

Miami Marlins vs New York Mets - Thu, Apr 06th, 2023

Welcome back to Long Island Tailgate (LIT)! We are starting our tailgating season this year with a Mets opening game at Citi Field.

Mets vs  Yankees Subway Series

Tue/Wed Jun 13/14 2023

LIT is a family-owned full tailgating service that prides itself on giving its customers a premier tailgating experience. We currently offer two tailgating event options:

  • Full Tailgate: Food & drink plus transportation to/from event venue
  • Tailgate Only: Food & drink but no transportation provided; you meet us at the event venue

We recommend that you book tailgate events early. LIT is considering a Transportation Only option which is not available at the moment. Transportation Only covers bringing you to the venue and returning you to your pick-up point after the venue event. It does not include food & drink at the tailgate event.

Stay tuned as we update our tailgate event dates!

LIT can host any private event (e.g., birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, company parties). Private tailgate events require a minimum of 45 attendees.
