School’s Out. Summer Is ON.
Events from June 26-28, 2026 around Queens, Brooklyn, and Long Island
Hi everyone ☀️
School's out as of tomorrow.
And even if the last day of school is a distant memory for some of us 😄, there's still something magical about this time of year.
The pools are open. The fairs are in full swing. The concerts are outdoors. AND the days are longer.
Whether you're moon gazing in Brooklyn, checking out classic cars at Queens Farm, cooling off at the pool, catching live music, or ending the weekend with Jack Johnson under the stars, we've got plenty of ideas to help kick off summer break.
Let's get into it ☀️
