The 60 Seconds

60 Seconds

The weekend’s serving spooky-season energy with a side of fall fun. Get your Tim Burton on at a family workshop in Kings Park, or go full Halloween mode at Northport’s open studio and Oakdale’s haunted grounds walk (free!). Friday night? Choose your vibe: Kompa at Prime on the Mile or craft brews at SquareHead’s family sesh. Sunday brings new moon sound baths in Port Jeff for the wellness crowd, while singles can trot through Connetquot on horseback. Random but solid: elimination trivia at Patchogue Library and a murder mystery pub crawl in Huntington. October’s doing its thing.
