25 July 2025
Dearly beloved,
We are gathered here today… to get through this thing called the weekend.
Time is short, the sun is hot, and Babylon’s got live music, BBQs, foam parties and more.
So if the elevator tries to bring you down — go party on the lawn, the beach, or the street.
🌤️ Here’s Your Purple Rain Forecast
- 💥 Friday, July 25: High of 91 °F — breezy sunshine turns tempestuous late afternoon. Thunderstorms may crash the party with downpours & gusty winds. Dress light, move fluid, and be ready to dance in the rain.
- 🔥 Saturday, July 26: Sunsplash with highs near 85 °F, less sticky air, and sweet times under sun and clouds. Perfect for beach yoga and open-air grooves — just bring your purple shades.
- ⚡ Sunday, July 27: Mostly cloudy, humid and 81 °F, with a storm brewing into the afternoon. Thunder may remix the day—be safe, embrace the vibe, and let the rhythm carry you indoors if needed.

Get up early for beach yoga with Jackie, then dance into the night with The Purple Xperience at Tanner Park — the tribute that’s got Prince himself tappin’ his boots in the clouds. 🎤
Foam parties in Lindenhurst, 80s hits at the Babylon Gazebo, community BBQs, theater magic, reggae rhythms, Shakespeare under the stars — baby, this weekend’s not just a scene, it’s a movement. 💃🕺
So before the elevator tries to bring you down, take the stairs straight into joy. We’re gathered here today… to celebrate this thing called life — and it’s all happening in Babylon.
🌟 Featured Event of the Weekend: The Purple Xperience – Prince Tribute
🗓 Friday, July 25 | 7:30 PM | Tanner Park, Copiague
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the spirit of Minneapolis royalty descend upon Copiague. 👑
The Purple Xperience ain’t just a tribute — it’s a resurrection. The funk is alive, the falsetto’s flyin’, and the bassline will slap you into a purple daze. 💜
This ain’t no casual concert — it’s a full-body celebration. Bring your lawn chairs, wear your finest ruffled blouse, and let the rhythm baptize you under the stars.
🎶 You don’t have to be rich to be their girl — it’s FREE, baby, as part of the Town of Babylon’s Summer Concert Series.
If music is the key to your soul, unlock it here. This is the sound Prince taught us to dance, cry, and live by. You miss this, and you’re just a “Sign ☮ the Times” away from regret.
