Long Island Kids' Activities August 18 and 19: The Long Island Bluegrass Festival and Live Endangered Animal Presentation

8/16/12 - By Dara Stewart

 

The Wiggles are in town this weekend! And It’s said that their Celebration Tour will be the last time that all of the originals will be performing together, so if you’ve got little ones, and if tickets are still available, we’ve got the ‘fo for getting discounted tickets. Also, BACCA is hosting its Long Island Bluegrass Festival this weekend, and there’s  Live Endangered Animals Presentation at the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum.

Have a great weekend!
