Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• DOWN Announce New Album 'Volume V' And Unveil Lead Single 'Blood Oath' (metaladdicts.com) — Metal fans in Wantagh can catch DOWN at Northwell at Jones Beach Theater on August 29 as part of Zakk Wylde's Berzerkus festival with Lamb of God and Black Label Society. The band is also rolling out their first full-length album in nearly two decades, 'Volume V,' led by the new single "Blood Oath."
• 13 New York Spots Where Showing Up Without A Reservation Could Ruin Your Day In 2026 (takingthekids.com) — If you're heading to Jones Beach in Wantagh this year, be ready for special parking rules and possible extra fees on big event days like the 2026 Bandshell Summer Concert Series. The guide explains how advance passes, Empire Pass limits, and early arrivals can save your beach day from sold-out lots and long walks from overflow parking.
• 'Enduring Heart' opens at The Long Island Museum (tbrnewsmedia.com) — Wantagh gets a nod in a new Long Island Museum exhibit that explores Native American history and living traditions across the island, including communities behind many Algonquian place names locals know. Running in Stony Brook through December 20, "Enduring Heart" features artifacts, contemporary art, and stories from Long Island's five tribal nations, inviting residents from Wantagh and beyond to better understand the region's first peoples.
