 Long Island 

It's hard to beat the fresh seafood that comes from our great waters here in the northeast! This Saturday and Sunday the 24th Annual Long Island Seafood Festival will be held at the Long Island Maritime Museum. The Blue Island Oyster Company and Claws Seafood Market will be shucking and cracking all day for attendees looking to sample some of the most appetizing seafood the north Atlantic has to offer! With over ten different bands perfoming, you're sure to stay entertained for this sensational family event. This weekend, hop off the boat and come enjoy some live music and delectable cuisine!

Plymouth

Between bowflusters and jet drives, boating has become so easy! Imagine navigating the high seas with no GPS, no stabilizers and worst of all, no cold drinks! The Mayflower II is an exact replica of the historic schooner used by the brave British settlers who first landed on New England soil four hundred years ago. This weekend is your last chance of the season to educate yourself on the rich history of the Plymouth Plantation and learn all about the pilgrims who traveled across the Atlantic on the Mayflower. The Plymouth Plantation and Mayflower II are a great experience for the family with such an authentic feel throughout the whole village! If you're looking to mix things up a little this weekend, be sure to explore Plymouth Plantation for a guaranteed amazing time!
