Long Island Woodworkers Show
Garden City · Sat-Sun, Sept 12-13, 10am-5pm at Cradle of Aviation
Turned bowls, hand-cut joinery, and live demos from the Island's best sawdust makers. Surprisingly hard to leave without buying something.
Nassau Reptile Expo
Garden City · Saturday, Oct 3, 9:30am-4pm at Cradle of Aviation
Snakes, geckos, and every scaly thing your kid has ever begged for, under one museum roof. Look, hold, maybe adopt.
Long Island Family Day
Garden City · Sunday, Oct 4, noon-3pm at Cradle of Aviation
An afternoon built entirely for families among the spacecraft and flight sims. Rainy-day insurance for the first weekend of October.
Garden City Turkey Trot
Garden City · Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, Nov 26; 5-miler, fun run & challenger race
Thousands trot past St. Paul's before the turkey goes in, raising money for the INN and more. Nassau's biggest Thanksgiving tradition, and a great one to just watch with coffee.
