Things for Do on Long Island for Kids and Families 4th of July Weekend: Stars and Stripes Festival, Family Fun Day and More
Fourth of July weekend is here, and it's time to go into full on summer swing. If you haven't already busted out the picnic blanket and checked out our recommended picnic places, or started your rounds of Long island ice cream shops, this is the perfect weekend to start. We've collected a few other summer activities for you here, as well as some cool spots to check out the fireworks on Long Island.
If you haven't already, give yourself the gift of guilt free leisure, and grab our awesome Poppins Perk for Le Play Cafe before this deal is over. Have a great weekend.
