LICM Honey Hoopla 2026 Evening Splash Bash planned for TOH Pool
Buzz over to LICM for a sweet day of bee-themed discovery on August 15th It's time to give three cheers for the tiny pollinators that make a big difference! Long Island Children's Museum (LICM) is celebrating National Honeybee Day on Saturday, August 15, from 11 am to 2 pm. Families are invited to enjoy a hive of hands-on activities that explore the fascinating world of honeybees through creativity, discovery, and, of course, a little taste of honey.
Included with Museum admission, LICM encourages children and their grownups to discover why bees are some of nature's hardest workers. Visitors can: • Taste the sweet side of science during Sweet as Can Bee Honey Tasting in the Cafeteria, where they'll sample a variety of delicious honey, including LICM’s own!
• Meet a real beekeeper in The Hive Studio inside Feasts for Beasts. Beekeeper and LICM Exhibit Technician Mark Rogan will share the tools of the trade, explain how honeybee colonies work, and help visitors spot the queen inside the Museum's observation hive. • Create a colorful Busy Bee Hat

Throughout the summer, Supervisor John Ferretti and the Hempstead Town have provided many free Town concerts, as well as Traveling Summer Luau events, at Town parks across America’s largest township. On Friday, August 7th from 5 PM to 8 PM at Newbridge Road Park Pool in Bellmore, the Town will combine those two community-favorite ideas into one “Evening Splash Bash” – featuring live music on the pool deck with Jill Gioia: Women of Rock, night swimming and swim races, barbecue food, inflatable lounges, a giant Jenga, cornhole, and even a Belly Flop Contest! “People travel far from home and spend a lot of money to enjoy live music while sitting poolside, but Hempstead Town is offering that incredible experience completely free to Town residents with the ‘Evening Splash Bash’ on August 7th at Newbridge Road Park,” said Supervisor Ferretti. “The Town of Hempstead’s Free Neighborhood Summer Concert
Series and Traveling Summer Luaus remain among our municipality’s most popular programs, which are being held throughout August, and we especially encourage all neighbors to come on down this Friday for a two-in-one unforgettable night.” The “Evening Splash Bash” – sponsored by Maximillion Watches and Jewelry of Bellmore – comes less than a week after the Town’s Disco Summer Dance Party at Town Park Point Lookout, a free event that featured six pulse-pounding artists and other family friendly activities. The remainder of August features more than a dozen concerts, including two performances by Fearless (Taylor Swift tribute), Strawberry Fields (Beatles), NY to Boston (Boston), and a pair of concerts by Joe Piscopo (Frank Sinatra).
