Rolling Out the Welcome Mat for New Neighbors This Weekend
Sea Cliff, NY · September 25, 2026
A cool harbor mist is settling over the rooftops early today. Take it slow with coffee, because the North Shore calendar fills up fast tomorrow morning.
The Lead
Autumn officially unpacks its North Shore schedule this weekend with a mix of neighborhood traditions and regional fall fairs. On Sunday afternoon, the Sea Cliff Civic Association rolls out the welcome mat for its annual new neighbors gathering, connecting recent arrivals with longtime residents, village trustees, and community groups. A few minutes east, the YMCA at Glen Cove hosts its fifth annual Fall Family Festival on Sunday, filling the grounds with carnival games, a pumpkin patch, and touch-a-truck exhibits. Saturday morning keeps things crisp with the weekly Deep Roots Farmers Market settling into its downtown Glen Cove Village Square home. The weekend bustle offers a lively warmup for next Sunday's 54th annual Mini Mart, giving residents a few days to plan walking routes before downtown avenue traffic closes for crafts.
