KATHARINE SCHROEDER FILE PHOTO | The Mattituck Street Fair is fun for the whole family.
Hey everyone. I’m back from vacation and just in time. There are a lot of great events happening this weekend all over the North Fork. For times, locations and other information about my picks and all the other events happening this weekend, check out events.timesreview.com.
One “must do” event is the Mattituck Street fair. There’s music, craft booths, food and much more. Beat the heat and get there early Saturday morning. Head back to the Love Lane area later in the day to pickup BBQ chicken dinners from the Mattituck Presbyterian Church. You can also call 631-298-4145 and get tickets in advance.
Another one of my favorites is the Long Island Antique Power Authority Tractor Pull and show at Hallockville. This event is fun for the whole family, and kids under 12 can get in for free. You’ll be amazed when you see how much weight these tractors can carry.
Many of you drive by my next pick every day: the Jamesport Carnival. The carnival runs through Saturday and there is a great fireworks display at night to conclude the event. Park on Peconic Bay Boulevard for the best view. My favorite spot is near the marina near the South Jamesport beach.
Tonight on Shelter Island, Shelter Island Reporter editor Peter Boody is discussing his new book, ‘Thomas Jefferson, Rachel & Me.’ For more information, call the Shelter Island Library.
Shelter Island is also having fireworks Saturday night at Crescent Beach. The show begins at dark, and I know you can also see from points in Greenport.
Riverhead & Greenport are having live music events tonight on the Peconic Riverfront and in Mitchell Park. Bring your chairs and blankets and enjoy a relaxing time.
Speaking of music and Mitchell Park, here’s a good way to spend your Monday evening. Head to Greenport for free ballroom dancing lessons, followed by “Monday Night Dances in the Park”. Families, pets and picnics welcome.
