Get Out, Farmingdale: Weekend Planner

Take part in all Farmingdale has to offer this weekend.

It’s Friday, and you’ve got no idea what you’ll do for the weekend.

You're time-pressed enough, so we're happy to do the research and find the best things to do and places to go for adults and kids, both locally and within reasonable striking distance.

This weekend, we're suggesting a kids library program, an open mic night at a bookstore, some theater, a special day at a park, a comedy café at a bookstore and an antique classic car show.
