Lots of people will tell you that Halloween is for kids – and that may, in fact, be true – but what they don’t tell you is that kids come in all sizes, shapes, and ages … and if they come to Long Island, they’ll enjoy a North Fork Halloween!
A Long Island, North Fork Halloween is many things – so many it can be hard to choose what to do, assuming you’re the Halloween reveler-type, of course. While most of the North Fork Halloween events fall on the weekend – October 30th or October 31st (natch) – there are also a few that do not, making the holiday a flexible one – have a gander:
