Other Classes events
Editor's Pick Pop Con
The Patchogue-Medford Library turns into a mini comic-con with local artist vendors, cosplay contests, and panel discussions. It's free, which means you can save your cash for the artist alley instead of admission. Parking can get tight on East Main, so give yourself extra time or walk from the village lots.
