Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. announced today that pop-up lemonade stands will be set up outside both of his district offices to celebrate National Lemon Day (observed on June 23) as well as to inform residents of New York’s Lemon Law. The event will be held on Friday, July 24, 2026, from 12 noon – 1:30 p.m., at Senator Addabbo’s Woodhaven Office at 84-16 Jamaica Avenue and his Middle Village Office at 66-85 73rd Place.

Community members are invited to stop by for a complimentary cup of lemonade (one per person, while supplies last). They will also receive material describing New York’s Lemon Law. 

“National Lemon Day provides a great incentive for us to celebrate something bright and refreshing with our neighbors, as well as ensuring residents are aware of their rights under New York’s Lemon Law,” Addabbo said. “If you’ve been stuck with repeated issues involving a vehicle, you deserve clear information and support.”

Lemons are known for their bright yellow color, tart and refreshing taste, and versatility in culinary, beverage, cleaning and many other applications. Packed with Vitamin C, antioxidants, and citric acid, lemons help strengthen the immune system, support heart health, and enhance the absorption of plant-based iron. 

Senator Addabbo will use this holiday to educate people about New York State’s Lemon Law which exists to protect consumers whose vehicles are shown to be defective within the first 24 months or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first, that can’t be repaired after repeated attempts (normally 3-4) by the manufacturer’s authorized dealership. The buyer or lessee may receive a full refund or a replacement.

At the lemonade pop-up events, residents will be given general information about the process for getting help for a defective vehicle, as well as how to access state resources and consumer protections. 

Senator Addabbo is committed to serving the communities of his district through constituent services, community engagement, and educational outreach.
