Events Around the Town of Babylon, NY this weekend ~ July 24–26, 2026

The Weekend Summer Owed You

After a midweek that got absolutely soaked — Tuesday and Wednesday were a washout — the sky is finally paying us back. Sunny and 80° all three days, barely a raindrop in the forecast. This is the beach weekend you’ve been waiting for since June.

And Babylon is ready for it: free concerts on the water at Tanner Park, a band at every bay bar, booze cruises pushing off from Captree, a Caribbean community festival, a farmers market, and a whole lot of sand in between. Sunscreen on. Let’s go.

☀️ The Forecast — Flawless

  • Friday, July 24 — Sunny, high 81°, 0% rain. Perfect.
  • Saturday, July 25 — Sunny, high 80°, 1% rain. Also perfect.
  • Sunday, July 26 — Sunny, high 80°, 3% rain. You get the idea.

Three straight beach days. Don’t waste them.
