109 Things to Do This Week? I’m Literally Obsessed. — October 19–23, 2026

Cardigan on. Calendar open.

Okay, 109 things to do before the weekend? I literally can’t even. The libraries are in their pumpkin era, Copiague is teaching Thriller, and there are paint nights, cozy film breaks, live music and community plans across the Town of Babylon. Grab the cardigan, text the friend who is always “down for whatever,” and pick one actual plan. Spooky season is not going to enjoy itself.

A jack-o’-lantern paint night is exactly the level of fall commitment I’m manifesting. Check registration before attending.

Wednesday, October 21 · 21 plans

Wednesday is giving main-character montage. Spooky Stories and Magic Wands starts in Lindenhurst at 4:30, Roman Holiday screens at Babylon Public Library at 5:30, and Jack O’Lantern Paint Night begins in Deer Park at 6:45. At 7, it is Thriller dance class at Copiague Library, On Your Feet! at the Argyle, or the Newcomers Club meeting in Lindenhurst. A midweek plan is a need, not a want.

Thursday, October 22 · 26 plans

Thursday has 26 plans, and I can’t even. Little ones get Mummy Pizza in Lindenhurst at 11, the Rubber Duck Costume Contest is there at 3:30, and Tween-Witches Brew starts in North Babylon at 4. At 5, Halloween Horror Movie Night is in Wyandanch; at 6:30 choose Fall Bingo at Anchor Coffee in Amityville or Long Island’s Haunted Cemeteries in Copiague. Manifesting a sufficiently large calendar.

Friday, October 23 · 20 plans

Friday’s mood: cardigan on, out-of-office energy activated. Cookies, Coffee and Karaoke starts at Copiague Library at 3, Ceramic Scarecrow Basket is in North Babylon at 4, and Beer Nutz happy hour begins at Lily Flanagan’s at 6. The Long Island Family Festival is listed to open at Tanner Park at 6; confirm the rescheduled dates before going. Pumpkin Carving is in Copiague at 6:30, followed by On Your Feet! at the Argyle at 7:30. Literally obsessed with having options.
