Things To Do In Beacon, NY 📅 08/01/2026

It is August 1st! Do not panic. We have had flooding in Fishkill, sinkhole sinking again, branch down, full moon, all before this new month. Don't you worry. Have cookies for breakfast. For our ladies, we are bringing perimenopause into the timeline. Now is a good time to promote your classes, products, benefits of pelvic floor health, fitness, therapy and nutrition if they are part of your services. See ALBB's Media Kit for ideas, or reach out for custom created content campaigns just for you. We have plenty of hotness left before the fall comes. Speaking of fall...the Spirit of Beacon Day has announced that it is open for registration and sponsorships! Lots of Back to School brewing, but we are firmly still in summer. ALBB MEMBER EVENT!
