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 lots of things including a family fun day event, live music, a cystic fibrosis benefit, a homecoming parade and football game, a classic movie, a teen craft, a cd event at the mall, a street fair, a cancer walk and an autism awareness walk and a children’s puppet program.
