The Weekend: June 18–21
Father’s Day weekend brings serious Juneteenth energy. JoyFest takes over Roosevelt High School Saturday for a free family celebration, while Bay Shore Middle School hosts a bilingual Peter and the Wolf concert—also free. Night owls have options: dancehall and kompa nights heat up Freeport Friday, and Rockville Centre’s Pappa Gallo throws an after-dinner party. Sunday’s the day for Chill, Grill and Roll in Long Beach (exactly what it sounds like). Random but cool: a Pride Zine Workshop happens at Nissequogue River State Park for $4. And yes, someone’s already recruiting volunteers for next year’s food festival.
The Editor’s Pick
Volunteer Registration for Famous Food Festival June 2026 — The Famous Food Festival needs volunteers for their June event at Tanger Outlets in Deer Park—you work the fest, you eat free and get swag. Shifts start at 8am on June 19th. It’s at The Arches Circle entrance, walkable from pretty much anywhere in the complex.
