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. For those who enjoy Facebook drama (ALBB does not, but has to be there to monitor the page), there's quite a bit of tea spilling in that comment thread.

The First Little Beacon Business Blog Squad Goals Mingle Is Complete!

Last week’s first Little Beacon Business Blog Squad Goals mingle is complete! Ignore the date that said 8/9. It was to be last month, and we postponed to August, only to be met with accidentally putting it on the same night as Beacon Hoops playoff games which one of our mini ALBBers was playing in. Fortunately, the rain came ☔️, and despite best efforts/desires to leaf blow the rain off the courts, Beacon Hoops rescheduled to this Sunday 🏀 and we stayed in Estilo Y Vino Wine Bar.

This mingle was for business members of ALBB (Things To Do In Beacon Guides and Business Directory), and non-profits are welcome to join at a discount rate! Everyone needs marketing and to support their local journalists and media outlets.

Joining the table was Kimberly Sevilla of HVAC company Shelter Air, therapist Kristen Verge , and Reuben Simmons of I Am Beacon. We avoided the dreaded question: “What do you do for fun?” because for business owners, working is usually 24/7, and sometimes IS fun. But this question prompted us to actually want to go line-dancing at Billy Joe’s across the river (would be nice if the ferry was reinstated to get there without car!). So the next Business Blog Squad Goals mingle might be there.

Kimberly, who is a firefighter in Cold Spring when not booking HVAC jobs, has also been racing in her sail boat on Summer Fridays. Kristen wants to do more collaging, so ALBB may also have a Vision Boarding party for possibly everyone. Need a creative space like That Creative Space to get messy in.

The wine at Estilo Y Vino was delicious as always. ALBB wanted the Chianti because of its promise of Violet Fragrance with a hint of Cherry Notes from Tuscany, Italy. Yes please. But the bottle was out and owner Elizabeth’s recommendation of another Italian suited just fine.

Watch ALBB’s new Event tab to see when our next mingle is. We will be at Estilo again!

Start your business membership any time!

I used to live here...Beacon is a town that's pretty unfamiliar to me besides Dia, and it's been really cool to finally property ingest it for 48 hours. It's a great little town. I am admittedly a Palestinian food noob, so I was really stoked to try some and it ruled. Ziatun is a beautiful little restaurant on Main Street and the food ripped. I had Halloumi cheese, Addas, Foule, and Beef Arayes. So good. Also, Is**el has k***ed over 1K Palestinians since the "ceasefire" and the U.S. continues to support them."

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."

New Pop-Up Things To Do List On Old Chase Bank

🦉🦜🦢🦅 The Things To Do flyers will not be kept down. While the flyers for art classes and dance parties sprinkling the old Rite Aid building storefront windows keep getting ripped down, new flyers have popped up at the old Chase building. Hadn’t noticed before that this building was originally called the Matteawan National Bank. Now that the blue Chase branding has been taken down.

If you don’t want your flyer ripped down, or your yard sign taken, post it with A Little Beacon Blog!!

Fun Fact: our photos and videos of artwork on buildings has even been quoted in Beacon Police Reports!! “As Seen In A Beacon Police Report” will go on our Publicity page 😉😘 Former City Administrator Chris White cited our video of Ryan Manzi chalk-arting 🇵🇸 Free Palestine onto the back of the Sun River Health Building (years before their current renovations) when he was identifying Ryan during a separate incident.

Beacon’s former Building Inspector, Bruce Flowers, encouraged Sun River Health to file a police report about the removable chalk art which helped keep Ryan in jail under other charges.
