While we may not be experiencing typical May weather, we can still make the most of it this weekend with various family-friendly events. There is a cartooning workshop for those budding cartoonists taking place at the Main Street Petite Gallery. At the Long Island Science Center, children can climb inside a giant bird house. If the weather improves, then there are also outdoor events scheduled such as the Mozart Festival at Old Westbury Gardens.
Happy Mother’s Day one and all. Here are six things to keep you (and your children) entertained on this very special weekend. If you’ve got the creative juices flowing or want to relax at a show or brunch, have we got the right events for you!
