Things To Do In Beacon, NY 📅 10/04/2026

Spirit of Beacon Day is happening this Sunday. No matter what. Rain or shine. This is the rain date. There is no rain date for the rain date. Everyone was so bummed about the postponment for the nor'easter, that we couldn't even email you about it. Made a few videos to show you the intense consideration the Spirit Committee was having about the decision, which you can watch here and here. How Did Beacon Fare During The Nor'easter? Last Sunday was surreal in Beacon. It was September 27th, the Last Sunday In September, which means Spirit of Beacon Day. But the nor'easter was predicted, so the rain and wind jitters set in. With rain predicted for the rain date as well, it was not immediately clear what would happen.  It started with business like Five Pennies Creamery asking ALBB if Spirit will really hold the line even during the nor'easter (see video interview here). Then band teachers begin to consider pulling instruments to protect them from the rain. Then parents begin to consider pulling children from marching in the parade. There's a lot to consider. The Spirit Committee called ALBB the Saturday before the big day to get advice about canceling. Listen to that reenacted phone call here.  In the end, the day was postponed to the following Sunday (tomorrow!). Even the I Am Beacon 5K run postponed, which hardly ever happens. Oddly, and most thankfully, almost nothing happened in Beacon. While all around us, wind and rain swirled, causing flooding. The tracks in Cold Spring flooded out. A tree fell across 9D, closing it down for a bit. A shark was spotted swimming in neighborhood streets in New Jersey. The Billy Joe's sign blew into the Hudson River. The Protection Prayers for Spirit of Beacon Day were so strong, that they did keep the weather away, if only to protect Beacon from damage. Which is a true Spirit of Beacon. As of today's refresh of the Weather app, rain is predicted for Sunday. It's been fluctuating since last week. The Spirit of Beacon Committee says: "Delayed is not denied. Failing to plan is planning to fail. We're taking all the precautions, prayers, positive energy, and insight that we can. See you on Sunday, rain or shine (not in a wind advisory, tho). Please keep this in mind, heart, and spirit, this is a day for neighbors to celebrate each other, on Main Street. Positive energy activates constant elevation."

Things To Do In Beacon, NY 📅 08/29/2026

Gonna spare you the photo on this edition of ALBB's Things To Do In Beacon Guides, but we have published, with exclusive video and photos, the incident on Friday afternoon, front row of Main Street at the DMV parking lot, where the man with gray hair in the Lake George shirt who apparently is a graduate of Beacon High School, is accused of mooning a car with a child in it, then demonstrates for onlookers what he did, then did it again in full view while the two police officers who were de-escalating him stepped away. There has been no proven connection between his actions, and the partial lunar eclipse that also just happened. Read all about it here.

Things To Do In Beacon, NY 📅 07/03/2026

Happy Fourth of July. Where we are celebrating 250 years of legalized violence and psychological trauma of whiteness keeping others from owning private property. Seasters Jones posted an observation about  Karoline Leavitt's reaction to DSA (Democrat Socialists of America) candidates sweeping entrenched AIPAC funded candidates. Karoline says that the USA was founded on the what she calls The Three Ps: "prison, police and private property." Listen to the clip here. There's a reason why she's called KKKaroline. Seasters Jones highlighted what @Cinemarxismbret replied: "She's right. Police, prisons and property are deeply entwined in our country's origins because at one point, PEOPLE were property, their life was a prison and the police were created to catch them when they escaped."

Things To Do In Beacon, NY 📅 07/03/2026 (Copy)

Happy Fourth of July. Where we are celebrating 250 years of legalized violence and psychological trauma of whiteness keeping others from owning private property. Seasters Jones posted an observation about  Karoline Leavitt's reaction to DSA (Democrat Socialists of America) candidates sweeping entrenched AIPAC funded candidates. Karoline says that the USA was founded on the what she calls The Three Ps: "prison, police and private property." Listen to the clip here. There's a reason why she's called KKKaroline. Seasters Jones highlighted what @Cinemarxismbret replied: "She's right. Police, prisons and property are deeply entwined in our country's origins because at one point, PEOPLE were property, their life was a prison and the police were created to catch them when they escaped." Beacon's Fourth of July Fireworks Day: Friday, July 3, 2026 Time: 6pm Food and Fun with Empire Concessions, Southwest Entertainment, Dutchess Dog House, A1 Parties.

Being in the kitchen is his comfort zone. Equally important is connecting with his spiritual goals. "This [life] is temporary," he told the magazine.
