Long island Events

Fall may be approaching, but there's still time to squeeze out every last bit of late summer fun. Join our real estate agents at these exciting festivals and events taking place just minutes from Suffolk County homes for sale and Nassau County homes for sale

  • Outlaw Music Fest - Jones Beach Theater, 895 Bay Pkwy., Wantagh, NY 11793
    Any one of the acts appearing at the Outlaw Music Fest would be a headliner on their own. Seeing the likes of Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, and Wilco on the same ticket is a music lover's dream. As icing on the cake, they're bringing along some of their stellar friends, including the Avett Brothers, Lucinda Williams, and Bruce Hornsby & the Noisemakers. While Willie is a bit ahead of himself by calling this the 10th anniversary, he and BFF Bob have been spearheading this event since 2016. Showtime is 4 p.m. on Friday, 8/1. Visit the website for ticket pricing, including Diamond and Gold fan packages. 

  • Long Island Retro Gaming Expo - Cradle of Aviation Museum, Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, Garden City, NY 11530
    Over a span of 50 years, games have evolved from the primitive animation of Pong to today's intricate first-person games such as the Call of Duty series. Explore this fascinating history at the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo. Make your way through three floors of arcades and hundreds of gaming events, with special guest appearances and panel discussions featuring top historians, developers, and artists. Show your dedication to your favorite game or character by participating in the third annual Cosplay Fashion Show. The Expo is scheduled for Friday, 8/8, through Sunday, 8/10. Visit the website for single-day and three-day ticket pricing. 

  • Sebastian Maniscalco - Jones Beach Theater, 895 Bay Pkwy., Wantagh, NY 11793
    If laughter is the best medicine, you'll live a long and healthy life after seeing Sebastian Maniscalco perform his "It Ain't Right" stand-up show. The 2024 leg of the tour landed on the Billboard list of the 10 highest-grossing comedy tours of the year. When Maniscalco's not appearing in front of sold-out audiences, he's acting in movies, co-hosting a weekly podcast, and publishing collections of essays tracing his career. Show starts at 8 p.m. on Friday, 8/15. Visit the website for ticket pricing, including Diamond and Gold fan packages. 

  • Hot Wheels Monster Trucks™ Live Glow-n-Fire - UBS Arena, 2400 Hempstead Tnpk., Elmont, NY 11003
    These larger-than-life vehicles will be bringing the heat during Hot Wheels Monster Trucks™ Live Glow-N-Fire. Skelesaurus™ joins the lineup of favorites for a high-energy show featuring a transforming robot and an appearance by the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Freestyle Motocross Team. The monster trucks will descend on Suffolk County on Saturday, 8/16, and Sunday, 8/17. Visit the website for showtimes and ticket pricing, including pre-show party and VIP options.

  • Long Island Celtic Festival & Highland Games - Old Westbury Gardens, 71 Old Westbury Rd., Old Westbury, NY 11568
    Just like St. Patrick's Day, everyone's Irish during the Long Island Celtic Festival & Highland Games. Spend a day celebrating the Celtic heritage of Long Island's Irish, Scottish, and Welsh communities with musical and dance performances. Activities include caber-tossing and other traditional sports along with puppet and magic shows, while food and craft vendors will be on hand. Mark your calendar for 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Saturday, 8/23. Tickets are $15-$25. 

Late summer on Long Island is also a perfect time for buying or selling a home. Contact us at Coldwell Banker American Homes for more information.
