Featuring a blend of both winter and spring activities, March is one of the most diverse months here on Long Island. With the spring equinox on March 20th, there are a few weeks of winter left to enjoy all that Nassau County and Suffolk County have to offer. Then, with St. Patrick's Day on March 17th, there's no better way to march into spring than with a St. Patrick's Day Parade! Plus, during St. Patrick's Day weekend, there are a number of great events to enjoy that will allow you to have your fill of corned beef and cabbage!
The month is just getting started from there, however, as a plentiful number of Family Festivals and Craft Fairs will keep families busy throughout the month. If you need to feel the beat, there are a number of Concerts and Performances that will have you dancing and grooving your way into spring! And if that release of energy isn't enough, be sure to participate in one of this month's upcoming Nature and Outdoors events.
Clearly, there is no time to waste! Check out March's events below and prepare for a month of constant fun here on Long Island!
