Weekend Fun for LI Kids in the Hamptons & North Fork June 5-7
Things tend to be quiet on the East End in early June. With another few weeks until schools close for summer break, parents have to search just a bit harder this weekend for kid-friendly activities on the North and South Forks.
But fear not: There's still plenty to do in this culturally diverse region. This weekend, you'll find theater shows, agriculture programs and historical offerings sure to educate and entertain little and not-so-little ones.
Whether you’re here for the weekend, the whole summer or call the East End home, you’ll want to check out our Hamptons & North Fork Guide. And for fun on the rest of the island this month, take a look at our Event Calendar and June GoList.
