Aloha! Kick off your weekend with some tropical fun. Friday night is Tiki Invasion at Harbor Island Park in Mamaroneck. It starts at 6pm and is free. Entertainment includes a live band, fire dancers, bon fire, hula hoops, Limbo contest, food trucks, cash bar with tropical drinks and an outdoor screening of “Joe Vs. The Volcano.”

Calling all animal lovers! The Putnam County 4-H Fair is a 3-day, old fashioned country fair running  Friday through Sunday. While this fair does not have the usual carnival rides you would expect, there is plenty of entertainment. Think animals, games, crafts, music, food, exhibits, a horse show, barbecue and more. Admission is free.

Have an itch for funnel cakes and bumper cars? Then head to the Spring Valley Carnival. You will find all the things you would expect at a traditional carnival. Wednesday through Sunday, evenings only.

You can make a difference by attending the Ossining Family Fun Day & Music Festival. This event will support the Gullotta House, an organization that helps people in Westchester facing hardships. Starting at noon on Saturday there will be food, drinks, vendors, face painting, crafts, bands and music.

Celebrate Irish culture at the Irish-American Cultural Heritage Celebration. The day will be filled with live entertainment, music and dance, arts and crafts, history and culture, and food. The festivities begin at 1:00pm on Sunday at Ridge Road Park in Hartsdale.
