Today Is Friday | Things To Do In Beacon, NY 📅 1/02/2026

This is a Friday with a swooping SIX!!! May 2026 bring the freshness that your life needs right now, paired with a breath of crisp air that is January as we cocoon inside to color our walls while winter keeps us in our bunkers. Speaking of coloring walls, ALBB is currently painting inside, and took a trip down to Brett's Hardware for a gallon re-stock of Black Penguin (or similar) for several surfaces, and Onyx in Semi-Gloss for some trim. See what else we found (if you're canning, you'll like these). Hot Tip: If you'd like to promote your event in A Little Beacon Blog's "All The Things" Event Calendar, see our submission guidelines.

NEW Podcast Episode ALBB's sister podcast production, Wait, What Is That? returns with a new, in-depth episode interviewing the documentary filmmaker, Jon Scott Bennett after the release of his 2nd in his 5-part docu-series, "The Peekskill Riots." He had just held a screening at the Beacon Public Library and came over to record our own Q+A session to learn about the crossovers between African American Civil Rights activist Paul Robeson, the KKK and white supremacy in the nation at the time (1949), the 2 violent riots in Peekskill at Paul Robeson's concert, and antisemitism toward the Jewish summer-goers who would enjoy settlement camps in the summer in this region.
