This Weekend on Long Island: Jul 9–Jul 12

The 60 Seconds

60 Seconds

The weekend’s got range. Saturday kicks off with art openings—catch Johanna Palmieri’s work in East Hampton or the intriguing “REJECTED” show at Kasher Gallery in Northport. If you’re more about vibes, Port Jefferson’s Roots Kava Bar has both happy hour and open mic. Sunday leans outdoorsy: there’s a photography hike at Nissequogue River State Park and an organic harvest at Bayard Cutting Arboretum. Holbrook’s SquareHead Brewing hosts a family-friendly SecretSeshLI, while Sunken Meadow offers free flower fun for all abilities. If you’re gallery-hopping or getting your hands dirty, the Island’s serving up options.

The Editor’s Pick

Open Mic At Roots Kava Bar — Roots Kava Bar hosts its weekly open mic every Sunday at 7pm—singers, acoustic musicians, and poets all welcome to perform. The vibe is low-key and supportive, exactly what Port Jeff does well. Free entry, and you’re on Main Street so street parking can be tight but there’s a lot
