Wednesday the 20th was the first official calendar day of Summer - and thankfully, for this first upcoming Official Summer Weekend, we've got just what you're looking for - tons of Events and Excitement around Long Island. Although the weekend is not supposed to be quite the scortcher that the latter half of the week has been, it's still going to be quite hot - just the opportunity many Long Islanders have been waiting for to break out the BBQs, hit the beaches, or hop in the pool. Whether you enjoy the summer sizzle, or you're looking to beat the heat, we've got the scoop on the best ways to enjoy all Long Island has to offer for the weekend, and all summer long.
