✨ Welcome to Your Official Excuse to Skip Chores This Weekend

Before you lace up your sneakers for a 5K, grab your tote bag for the farmers market, or throw on a fedora for the Italian Food Festival (because of course you’re dressing the part), a quick heads up: check the forecast before you commit. Some of these events are outdoors, and while Babylon’s weather is usually as delightful as a salt-rimmed margarita, we’ve seen it flip faster than a vendor at Clam Fest shouting “WE’RE OUT OF CHOWDER!”

What else is happening...We’ve got slime parties for kids (don’t ask what happens if it rains), Dio tribute bands reuniting one last time (because they’ve said that before), and more 80s-themed events than a Stranger Things finale. From family-friendly bike rides to spiritual breathwork and actual courtroom drama on stage — yes, A Few Good Men is back and yes, you still can’t handle the truth — this weekend is stacked.

So unless you plan on live-streaming from your couch again, browse the list, make a plan, and maybe pack a poncho... just in case.

Here's a sampling of the events this weekend...

🗓️ Friday, May 16 – Start Strong!
From homeschool art classes in the morning to slime, pizza, and wearable art at night, the kids are covered. Meanwhile, grown-ups can relive the glory of the 80s at Katch or Salt Shack, rock out at The Warehouse’s Dio tribute show, or enjoy The Truth About Menopause workshop at Sea Change.

Cap off your night with a Broadway-style experience at Fiddler on the Roof or A Few Good Men, or relax with live music at The Boatyard or The Sea Breeze.
