Babylon Town Local Events this 🇺🇸 Memorial Day Weekend ~ Fri May 23 – Mon May 26, 2025

From parades to parties and beach vibes to barbecue—this long weekend is bursting with things to do in Babylon!

Agent,

Your assignment is clear: infiltrate Babylon’s Memorial Day Weekend festivities, engage in community activities, and gather intel on local events. The weather forecast indicates favorable conditions for outdoor operations:

📅 Fri May 23 🌥️ Breezy with a couple of showers, High: 61°F, 🌧️ 30% Chance of Rain
📅 Sat May 24 🌤️ Variable cloudiness with a shower in the area; breezy, High: 62°F, 🌧️ 30% Chance of Rain
📅 Sun May 25 🌤️ Partly sunny and breezy, High: 64°F, 🌧️ 10% Chance of Rain
📅 Mon May 26 🌤️ Sunshine and a few clouds; best day of the holiday weekend, High: 69°F, 🌧️ 0% Chance of Rain

Proceed with caution, maintain your cover, and immerse yourself in the local culture. Your detailed mission briefings for each day are as follows:

🎖 Priority Objective: Special Event Highlight

Memorial Day Parade – Babylon Village
🕒 Monday, May 26 at 1100 hours
Operation: Honor and Tribute. Commanded by American Legion Post #94, this annual deployment begins at Foster Blvd. Tactical route: proceed south down Deer Park Ave, pivot west on Main Street, and conclude at the Argyle Park Gazebo for Memorial honors.
All agents—civilians and patriots alike—are encouraged to attend. Salute the fallen, witness community pride in formation, and reconvene at the Legion HQ for post-op refreshments (code name: hot dogs).

🎯 Mission Briefing: Friday, May 23

Agent: Your long weekend operation begins now. Intel confirms Babylon is primed for activity. Surveillance suggests multiple targets for fun, fundraising, and full-throttle rock ‘n roll. Here’s your tactical breakdown—choose wisely, but act fast. These missions will self-destruct… eventually.

St. Nicholas Food Pantry Cereal Drive – Your first covert op? A drop mission. Sneak a box of cereal to 200 Great East Neck Road. Each box = hope. No disguise required. Your cover: concerned community operative.
No School Kids Camp – Asset extraction plan for agents under 10. Deploy the young ones to The Color Palette in Lindenhurst for an all-day creative operation involving clay, slime, paint, and snacks. High chance of glitter exposure.
Legends of Airpower Weekend – Recon mission at the American Airpower Museum. Analyze WWII aircraft, absorb historical data, and engage with flying war machines. Bonus: the B-29 “Doc” is confirmed in the hangar.
Open Paint, Slime, and Bracelet Making – Your afternoon assignment involves blending in at Creative Touch or The Color Palette. No RSVP. No questions. Just art, slime, and silent crafting camaraderie.
Live Music Targets:
- Guys With Guitars – Acoustic agents assembling in Amityville. Expect riffs, rhythm, and reconnection.
- Kymistry 101 at VERN – Dance floor deployment. Energy levels off the charts. No cover. All vibes.
- All Revved Up + Almost Elton at The Warehouse – Double tribute infiltration: Meat Loaf + Elton. Code name: Rock ‘n Roll Royalty.
- Mean Machine – Operation: High-Octane Groove. Soundwaves reported near Ocean Parkway.
- Blink 180 Who?! at Sand City – Nostalgia agents assemble. Entry: $5. Mission: scream every word from 2003.
- That 70’s Band at The Boat Yard – Time-travel operation. Sequins encouraged. Funk is mandatory.
Fiddler on the Roof at Argyle Theatre – Final Friday op: tradition, triumph, and tears in a Broadway-caliber performance. Curtain rises at 7:30. Tactical tissues recommended.

Mission success depends on timely arrival, weather awareness, and your unwavering dedication to leisure. Stay tuned for Saturday’s encrypted itinerary…

🕶️ Mission Log: Saturday, May 24 – Covert Ops: Sunshine, Slime & Celebration

Agent: After completing Friday’s objectives, your second day of the mission requires stamina, sunscreen, and possibly a reusable tote bag. This Saturday is teeming with public ops—from morning recon to nightfall noise. Proceed with precision.

Beach Yoga at Robert Moses – Operation: Inner Peace. Meet at sunrise, blend into beachgoers. Engage in breathwork, then disappear quietly into a gentle hath flow.
Captree Air Show Cruise – Naval-level recon of the Fourleaf Jones Beach Air Show. Board the Bay Princess. Avoid enemy traffic. Watch Thunderbirds dominate the skies—binoculars advised.
Crazy Yard, Vintage & Jewelry Sale – Code Name: Treasure Hunt. Find vintage artifacts, retro dolls, and tactical accessories (aka costume jewelry). Expect bargaining. Bring backup cash. No early birds allowed.
Lindenhurst Farmers Market – Blend in with locals. Gather fresh intel (produce), sweeten negotiations (honey), and distract mini-agents at the Kids Corner. Live music may trigger spontaneous dancing—act accordingly.
3rd Annual Community Fest – Open-air operation at 33 Cooper Street. Target: family bonding and free samples. Secure community pride and possibly fried food. All agents welcome—zero cover charge.
Foodie Fest at Tanger Outlets – Operation: Snack Attack. Multiple food trucks spotted. Engage only if stomach integrity is high. Shopping is non-mandatory but strongly encouraged.
After-Dark Assignments:
- Vinyl Revival at Salt Shack – Soul surveillance. Expect classics. Protect dancefloor dominance.
- Decadia – Synth-based temporal dislocation into the ’80s and ’90s. Proceed with caution (and leg warmers).
- Deep Tracks Classic Rock Band – Covert cocktail ops at Riptide’s. Listen close. Sing louder.
- Glow in the Park: Staff Faves – Zipline after dark. Neon camo advised. Playlist is classified (and fabulous).

Mission Control recommends hydration, sunblock, and checking parking perimeters at all major locations. You’ve got this, Agent. Stay shadowy.

🚗 Operation: Sunday, May 25 – Wheels, Waves & Warm Vibes

Agent: Sunday’s objective is simple: maximum summer mode. Our informants have flagged key locations for top-tier relaxation, emotional nostalgia, and auto-related admiration. Go incognito if needed, but do not—repeat, do not—skip the car show tacos.

Village of Babylon Memorial Day Car Show – First recon site: Municipal Pool parking lot. Scan vintage vehicles, admire high-gloss finishes, and support the LI Cares Veterans Project. Food trucks on-site. Do not lick the Mustangs.
Barometer Soup at Salt Shack – 1300 hours: deploy to Salt Shack for island vibes and a Jimmy Buffett tribute that’ll transport you straight to Margaritaville. Surveillance shows flip-flops are standard issue.
Emo Booze Cruise – Stealth mission by sea. Set sail at 1900 sharp from Captree. Scream your feelings into the bay with two high-intensity nostalgia sets. Tears may occur. So will unlimited beer and soda.
First Sunday Funday at The Boat Yard – Agents are gathering to launch summer 2025. Mission parameters: sunset, cocktails, waterfront music. Bonus op: take a selfie with the ocean. Use codephrase: #Themysticband.
Other Priority Ops:
- The Mystic – Confirmed musical presence at The Boat Yard. High-energy coastal rhythms. Excellent intel for dancing.
- Gotcha Covered at The Village Lanterne – Classic tunes, cozy vibes, and schnitzel recon. Don’t blow your cover as a serious music enthusiast.
- Record Release Show at Sand City – Operation: Underground Sound. Five bands. One night. Intensity level: critical. $15 cash entry at the door. Earplugs optional but advised.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day. Rest tonight—or don’t. The mission resumes at 0900 with full honors. ✊

🇺🇸 Mission: Monday, May 26 – Memorial Day Ops & Final Honors

Agent: This is not just another day off—it’s the culmination of your Memorial Day assignment. Salute the fallen, enjoy the town, and finish strong. Uniform: comfy shoes, patriotic flair optional, sunglasses highly encouraged.

🪖 Parades Galore:
- West Babylon Parade – Report at 0900 hours. Procession kicks off at 10:00 AM with wreath ceremony and community picnic. Bring a flag and your inner Boy Scout.
- Farmingdale Parade – March begins on Main Street at 10:00 AM, rain or shine. Ends at Village Green with a heartfelt ceremony. Perfect for undercover patriots.
- Babylon Village Parade – Step off at 11:00 AM sharp from Foster Blvd. Final destination: Argyle Park Gazebo. Follow with hot dogs and honor at American Legion Post 94.
🍔 Live Music & Eats:
- Rock Island Sound @ Cantina Bay – Mission: Rock out seaside from 1–4 PM. Free parking, no cover, good vibes guaranteed.
- Memorial Day BBQ – Rendezvous at 185 North Broadway, 12:30 PM. Tactical burgers. Saucy side missions. Come hungry, leave heroic.
- Wonderous Stories – The legendary cover band closes out the weekend at Salt Shack (4:30 PM). Your ears will thank you. Your feet may revolt. Worth it.
🧘 Yin Restore & Reiki – Final mission: recovery. Join Third Season Yoga at 6:00 PM for deep stretching, healing energy, and silent gratitude. No intel, just inner peace.

Debrief: You did it, Agent. Four days, countless events, and zero casualties (besides your step count). Mission accomplished. 🌟
