Memorial Day Weekend with Kids in the Hamptons & North Fork
Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer when many Long Islanders head out east to enjoy the area's beautiful beaches, and various kid-friendly events and activities. This weekend, families can learn about oyster farming, help transform the Childen's Museum of the East End's garden, sample some of the region's finest cuisine or watch a parade honoring our nation's veterans.
Whether you're planning to spend most of the summer on the East End or just a weekend here and there, be sure to check out our Hamptons & North Fork Guide for the best things to do and see in the area. And for what's happening on the rest of LI, take a look at our Event Calendar.
