Things To Do In Beacon, NY đź“… 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.

Presented by Jewish Voices for Peace Hudson Valley: "Join us for a screening of COEXISTENCE MY ASS! in Beacon, NY on August 29. Filmmaker Noam Shuster Eliassi grew up the literal poster child for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process before making a hard pivot to stand-up comedy and political satire. But as the region sinks deeper into devastating violence, she must meet the moment by challenging her audiences with hard truths that are no laughing matter."

This time when we visited The Station Dispensary, we asked for something for our older ladies. Or, ladies in thier late 40s-50s.
