Get Out, Massapequa: Weekend Planner July 22 and July 23
Take part in all Massapequa has to offer this weekend.
It’s Friday, and you’ve got no idea what you’ll do for the weekend.
You're time-pressed enough, so we're happy to do the research and find the best things to do and places to go for adults and kids, both locally and within reasonable striking distance.
This weekend, we're suggesting book buddies at the library, a classic cars night at the train station, some Music Under the Stars concerts through Town of Oyster Bay, live music at Corner Galley and Blue Parrot, a collection to help tornado victims, a school family festival, a football clinic and a Charlie Chan movie double feature.
