The 60 Seconds
60 Seconds
August 13–16
Summer’s peak hits different this weekend. Music lovers can catch everything from Tal Naccarato’s Greenport set to Kompa vibes in Freeport and a Love Island-themed social in Long Beach. Families have their pick: the Oyster Jamboree in Port Jefferson, a murder mystery pub crawl in Huntington, or craft beer hangs at SquareHead.
Want something educational? There’s bat safaris at Wildwood ($4), pollinator garden work at Jones Beach, or Picasso workshops for kids 8+ at Nissequogue River State Park.
Weather’s looking [check forecast], but honestly—between the oysters, live music, and actual bat-watching—you’ve got options regardless.
The Editor’s Pick
‘Greenport Concert Series’, featuring : TAL NACCARATO, LIVE! — Guitarist Tal Naccarato plays a free afternoon set at Floyd Memorial Library, mixing original americana and folk with traditional blues covers. The Saturday 3pm slot means you can catch the show then walk to Front Street for dinner. Bring a chair if you want to sit outside.
