This weekend, festivals continue to take center stage on Long Island. Head out to Riverhead for the Fall Festival & Craft Show. This annual festival at Hallockville Museum Farm is now in its 33rd year. It's apple picking season and a great way to celebrate nature's bounty is by checking out the Apple Festival at Harbes Farm & Orchard. Tanner Park, which is home to an awesome spray park, is also home to an action-packed Family Festival, which boasts live music, a carnival midway, and a magic show. Get a taste of Italy at Hofstra University's Annual Italian Festival, which is now in its 21st year. Also on tap: The Bayville Waterside Festival, and the Our Lady Of Lourdes Church Italian Feast in West Islip. As always, check our events calendar every day for fun activities for the family.
