Things To Do 📅 8/02/2025

It was  so pleasant sleeping on Thursday night, when the darkness was cooler, humidity lower, and the sounds of frogs croaking in the distance increased because of the swamp lands surrounding us that are becoming our backyards.   Savage Wonder is back with a new reading for you to experience every Saturday in August, and there is a new gluten-free bagel in town. Enjoy your weekends, everyone. BOOK YOUR EVENT PROMOTION Single purchases of Event Promotions are available. Membership for discounted recurring events are available. EVENTS The Actor’s Nightmare @ Savage Wonder Date: All Saturday’s In August Time: 7-9pm Location: Savage Wonder, 141 Main Street (the old beautiful bank building near Bank Square) Settle in at The Grape Rebellion with a glass of wine, a sweet bite from the wine bar menu, or one of our show-themed specialty cocktails. Then steady your nerves — or don’t bother, really — The Actor’s Nightmare and 6 Veteran authored 10 minute comedies take the stage: a delirious spiral of forgotten lines, miscast roles, and lights that never go out. If you’ve never experienced a Savage Wonder reading, you’ve missed pantless performers, actors in a conjoined-shirt, and theatrical chaos served with a wink. It is an intimate, hilarious romp with world-class actors in a gleefully playful space. Featured writers include: "Monkey Do" by, Art Walsh "The Big Dark" by, Terry Glaser "Hand Clubbed Baby Seal" by, Ron Capps "Sole" by, Robin Ellen Brooks "Hamlet in Hiding" by, Rich Rubin "Don't Play With Your Food" by, Arianna Rose Tickets > Spirit Of Beacon Day!

Sponsorships > Parade Application > Vendor Table Application > Volunteer Opportunities > Information > Free Palestine Protest Date: Every Sunday Time: 12pm-1pm Location: 450 NY-211, Middletown, NY From the Organizers: "We’re out here every week speaking out against 🇮🇱’s war crimes, as they deliberately starve over a million children by blocking aid and through fueling a man-made famine. If you’ve ever wondered, “What can I do?” know this: protests in the U.S. matter most. This country funds the war crimes, and staying silent here isn’t neutrality; it’s privilege. Your voice can make a difference! And if not now, then when? Palestine will be talked about for the rest of our lives. When the world looks back on this moment, will you be able to say you stood up or will you pretend you did while having stayed silent?

Tired of not having an option for gluten-free guests, she has dove down into her ingredient mind to develop this for you. It’s been in her mind for 5 years. Everyone will love this bagel because it’s soft and toasts up a little crispy. The inspiration is a Brazilian egg roll, so think of this as a yellow, eggy, bagel. Try it with Bagel-ish’s house-made blueberry cream cheese. ALBB discusses in this video. Instagram > Bagel-ish is a Sponsor!
