The Superior Local | Your First Official Spring Weekend Guide
Your First Official Spring Weekend Guide
Events from March 20-22, 2026 around Queens, Brooklyn, and Long Island
Spring officially starts tomorrow… and we are READY!
You can feel the shift — longer days, a little extra energy, and honestly just more reasons to get out of the house again.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to make plans… this is it.
Friday, March 20 | Music, Games & Friday Night Fun
Storytime with Bilingual Birdies (Kew Gardens Hills)
Such a sweet one if you’ve got little ones — music, storytelling, and a bilingual experience that’s both fun and meaningful (English/Spanish) at the Queens Library.
A Tribute to Miles Davis (Flushing)
A smooth, feel-good jazz night honoring one of the greats at Flushing Town Hall. Perfect if you’re in the mood for something relaxed but still special.
Family Night Hike (Rockville Centre)
A little adventure to kick off the weekend — bundle up and explore nature after dark. Something different (and surprisingly fun) to do at Center for Science Teaching & Learning.
Nets vs. Knicks (Brooklyn)
Two hometown teams going head-to-head right here in Brooklyn — the energy in Barclays is always for this kind of matchup.
Saturday, March 21 | Parades, Theater & Local Adventures
Glen Cove St. Patrick’s Day Parade (Glen Cove)
If you’re not quite ready to let go of the St. Paddy’s vibes — this parade keeps the celebration going with music, floats, and lots of green.

Explore Queens at your own pace with this self-guided audio tour. As you walk, audio narration plays through your phone, sharing the stories and history behind the neighborhood’s landmarks — no group, no guide, no schedule.
“Don’t Drink the Water” Live Theater (Middle Village)
A classic comedy, live and in an intimate setting — perfect for a low-key night out that still feels like you did something.
Milleridge Easter Village (Jericho)
Step into a festive spring village filled with Easter fun — photos with the Easter Bunny, games, inflatables, crafts, and even an Easter train. A fun, family-friendly way to welcome the season.
Sunday, March 22 | Sweet Treats & Spring Energy
Rough Draft Festival (Long Island City)
A really cool behind-the-scenes look at brand new plays and performances still in development — raw, creative, and something a little different.
