Weekend Fun for Kids in the Hamptons & North Fork, July 17-19
From nature talks and fun runs to festivals and puppet shows, there is no shortage of family fun on the East End of Long Island. Two of our favorites happening this weekend include the Riverhead Fire Department commemorating the 80th anniversary of its drill team with a two-day celebration, and the sweet corn festival at Harbes Family Farm.
Of course, you can find even more activities on our jam-packed events calendar. And for other ideas on what to do in the area, check out our Hamptons and North Fork Family Guide.
