A May to remember starts this weekend
Events from May 1-3, 2026 around Queens, Brooklyn, and Long Island
HELLOOOOO MAY!!!
There’s so much to look forward to this month — from Mother’s Day, to my birthday (had to sneak that in ), to Memorial Day…
Something tells me this is going to be a May to remember.
So let’s get out there and celebrate everything our area has to offer.
Friday, May 1st — ease in or go out 🎉
Origami for Adults (Middle Village)
A calm, creative way to start the weekend at Queens Library — slow down, learn something new, and make something with your hands.
Free First Friday (Long Island City)
Art, culture, and a peaceful space at the Noguchi Museum — plus free admission makes this an easy yes.
Saved by the 90's (Brooklyn)
Throw it back with a full night of 90s music, dancing, and nostalgia — this one’s just fun.
Saturday, May 2nd — try something new 🌿
