What is going on this weekend on Long Island?

Hit the This Weekend button in the filters and the list narrows to the next two days. We also keep a dedicated this-weekend page that pulls the same events together with a few backup ideas for when the calendar is thin.

Which Long Island family events are free?

Filter cost to Free. A good share of the calendar is: library programs, town concerts and movie nights, tree lightings, and street fairs. Paid events show what we know about admission on the listing, but the event's own page is the last word on price.

Are these events actually for kids?

This directory is built for families, and the Kid-Friendly filter is the switch for it. Events do not hand out tidy age ranges the way camps and leagues do, so listings tend to describe who an event suits in plain language rather than a badge. Read the listing, and when it matters, check the venue's page.
