There's more to November than turkey time. November on Long Island is bustling with plenty of fab, fun, and FREE events to keep you busy without breaking the bank.

Have a movie buff in your brood? Take the kiddos to see short films at the Cinema Arts Centre or take in Family Shorts at the Bryant Library hosted by the Gold Coast Arts Center.

Honor Veteran’s Day by writing letters to our troops and veterans, or pay tribute to the flag at the Parade of Flags at Heritage Trust.

Book lovers rejoice! Throughout the month you can participate in one of the many storytimes at libraries and bookstores across the island, or trade-in your old bedtime stories for new tales of adventure and mischief at the Fall Book Swap at Children's Museum of the East End.

Kick-off the holiday season in true Long Island fashion with the Huntington Harbor of Lights Holiday Boat Parade!
