What’s Happening This Weekend

It’s the first weekend in November, and the crisp air and fallen leaves are sure signs of two things: Fall fairs and holiday shopping season has officially begun!  Keep checking back to Nassau Happening for info on great deals and gifts to give this holiday season.  Get started this weekend with the following events:

Friday, November 4

The Farmers Markets are almost gone, so stop by before they close up for good.  Today they are open in Hewlett and Glen Cove.  For some nighttime fun, head over to Layla’s Dance and Drum Studio for a Salsa and Mambo Dance Class and Party.  No experience or partner necessary; attend, learn some steps, and dance the night away!  If you’re looking to take a back seat to the entertainment, get tickets to see Josh Groban at Nassau Coliseum.
