Port Washington Branch trains will stop at Mets-Willets Point Station for customers attending the Meadows Music and Arts Festival at Citi Field and Flushing Meadows tomorrow, Saturday, October 1 and Sunday, October 2.

More than 80,000 are expected to attend the event, which includes performances from Chance the Rapper, J. Cole, The 1975, Pretty Lights and Grimes. Food at the fest will deliver the flavor of Queens, dishing out local bites such as port tacos from Corona’s Totas Neza, Thai noodle soup from Pata Paplean in Elmhurst, and Nepalese momos from Dhaulagiri Kitchen in Jackson Heights.
