Never Miss A Thing In Nassau County!

Bethpage Air Show

To unofficially welcome summer, you must see the Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach! This annual air show is held each May on Memorial Day Weekend at Jones Beach State Park in Wantagh, New York, on Long Island.

Adventureland Amusement Park

Kick off the summer like Long Islanders have been doing for decades at Adventureland Amusement Park in Farmingdale. Opening in late June, ride roller coasters, play in bumper cars, get chills in the Mystery Mansion, and hang in the arcade.

Long Island Ducks

Another summer time staple is the Long Island Ducks minor league baseball!!! Games are played at Bethpage Ballpark in Central Islip during the summer. Tickets are super affordable & a great way to enjoy America's past time with your whole family. Long Island Duck's Kids Club members [ages 14 & under] are invited to Kids Club Day, when they can tour the ballpark, run the bases, and meet the team + Quacker Jack the team mascot!

Ocean Parkway Coastal Greenway

The FINAL leg of the Ocean Parkway Coastal Greenway was completed in March 2021. This 14-mile paved path connects Captree State Park to the Ellen Farrant Memorial Bikeway and runs along the Great South Bay.
