Opa! Enjoy the taste and culture of Greece at the Greek Festival on the Harbor in Port Washington on the north shore of Long Island. Or head to Lido Beach on the south side for the Festival by the Sea. The Long Island Fair at the Old Bethpage Village Restoration will combine old-time country fairs and current day competitions. Puppets, mimes, jugglers and traditional dancing are just some of what on tap.

We all know the drill: You’re excited at the thought of not having to cook 3-4 meals to satisfy the choosy eaters in your bunch, only to pay $10 for a plate of food at a restaurant they barely touch. The frustration of throwing money (and perfectly edible food) into the garbage practically ruins the night out. Well, not at these Long Island eateries. Several restaurants offer kids eat free promotions that are sure to please the pickiest of palates. And for more cheap eats in the area, check out our original post, Long Island Restaurants Where Kids Eat Free.

From the East End to the Queens border, there's a fall festival for everyone this weekend. Set sail to Greenport for the Maritime Festival or head to the Bellmore Family Street Festival for one of the island's largest feasts of its kind. Enjoy blue ribbon contests and pie eating at the Queens County Fair
