Looking for ideas for the weekend? The Asian American Cultural Festival has returned to Farmingdale College this weekend, an event that will be fun and can be educational for the whole family.
Want to include the dog with your plans? There’s an event for dogs over at Westbury Gardens. At the Tilles Center, it’s the Long Island Guitar Festival or you can spend a day at the American Airpower Museum. If you want to stay close to home, go see the art exhibit at the library that’s there for the month of April.
