The Children's Museum of the East End is having its Great Outdoors Family Fair, the Town of Babylon is holding its Splash Bash at the Phelps Lane Pool in North Babylon, and the Town of Oyster Bay is putting on its Children's Festival and Safety Day. There's also the Laurie Berkner Band at the Tilles Center and Brentwood's Puerto Rican Day Parade. And as always, you'll find lots more events for this weekend and all week long in our events calendar. Have a great weekend!
