🚀 A Classic Week of Entertaining Events in Babylon Town ~ Aug 18-22, 2025

17 August 2025

Babylon Is Basically Coachella This Week, If Coachella Had Better Bagels

Lineup includes cover bands, art shows, and your neighbor Gary in cargo shorts.

If you thought Babylon was sleepy in late August, think again. This week we’ve got everything from youth theater shows and block parties to fishing trips, street fairs, and concerts that’ll make your dad break out his air guitar. Consider this your anti-doomscrolling toolkit: swap political chaos for popcorn at Tanner Park, inflation talk for free live music, and your 3rd Netflix binge for an actual night out.

Babylon Block Party (Thursday, August 21 – 5 PM)

Shut down the streets, bring out the food trucks, crank up the music — it’s Babylon’s biggest block party of the summer! The Babylon Block Party is back downtown, with live bands, outdoor dining, vendors, desserts, and a kid-friendly Fun Zone. Sponsored by the Babylon Chamber of Commerce, this Thursday night takeover is the place where the whole town shows up. Rain date: Aug 28.

🎨 Monday, August 18 Events

Kick off your week with some actual action: send the kids to Summer Art Classes at Creative Touch in Lindenhurst, belt out Disney songs at Family Fun Night at Salt Shack, or level up your parenting skills at Parenting in the Digital Age. Want something more kinetic? Elite Dance Studio has classes for every age, and Adaptive Dance & Yoga in Lindenhurst proves movement is for everyone. Monday doesn’t have to be boring — Babylon has you covered.

🎬 Tuesday, August 19 Events

Your Tuesday options are way better than doomscrolling: catch dinos under the stars with Jurassic World at Tanner Park, or vibe oceanside with Bryne Unit at Salt Shack. If you’d rather reset your brain, Breaking Barriers Meditation in Amityville will calm your existential dread. And for families, Middle School Make & Mingle is the perfect pre-school-year social warm-up.

🎶 Wednesday, August 20 Events

Midweek is anything but mid — catch Miles to Dayton at the Babylon Gazebo for some folky soul, or throw it back with Tasty Wave’s 80s Dance Night at Salt Shack. Music heads should hit Hot Mulligan’s Listening Party in West Babylon or the Grateful Dead Tribute in Amityville. And if you’d rather DIY some memories, the Beach Glass Art Workshop in Farmingdale has your crafty side covered.

🍻 Thursday, August 21 Events

Thursday comes in swinging: the Deer Park Chamber Golf Outing puts the networking on the green, while the Still Blue Fishing Trip sets sail from Captree. Downtown Babylon transforms with the legendary Babylon Block Party, and art lovers get a new obsession at the Babylon MoMA Grand Opening. When the sun sets, close the night with Social Gold at Salt Shack or the free Disney Newsies Jr. youth theater show in North Babylon.

🎤 Friday, August 22 Events

Friday goes full festival mode: groove with the Earth, Wind & Fire Tribute at Tanner Park, rock out with The Electric Dudes in Lindenhurst, or dance on the sand with the Soul Cruisers at Salt Shack. Families can cheer on young stars at Newsies Jr. in North Babylon, while night owls can rave till morning at Better Off Alone: 90s/2000s Dance Rave in Amityville. Basically, Friday is built for FOMO.
