Weekend Fun for LI Families in the Hamptons & North Fork, August 27-August 30
With Labor Day on the horizon, you might assume things would slow down a bit on the East End of Long Island this weekend. That assumption would be wrong.
This weekend, parents and kids can experience the glamor of the Hampton Classic Horse show, take a railroad trip back in time, catch some fish together and even race a rubber duck or two at the East End’s most recognized landmark, the Big Duck.
So start to get your last licks of summer fun this weekend. Check out our Hamptons and North Fork Family Guide for the best in local entertainment, and with back to school looming be sure to see our Long Island Classes Guide for the best in after-school programs Islandwide.
