October is here, and our local events calendar across the Town of Babylon is absolutely packed with things to do.

This week marks the unofficial kickoff of the spooky season, and the celebrations are starting with a historic bang.

The Lindenhurst Fire Department is hosting its 100th Anniversary Halloween Costume Party, a truly once-in-a-century milestone for the community.

This isn't just a party; it's a major community celebration.

For more family-friendly autumn fun, the Copiague PTA Fall Festival promises an evening of games, food, and neighborhood connection at the local high school.

But the excitement doesn't stop with seasonal festivities.

Creative residents can learn to make fresh pasta in Copiague or catch a showing of the magical classic Practical Magic in Babylon Village.

Career opportunities are also in the spotlight, with a special hiring event for cosmetologists at Ulta Beauty in Farmingdale.

Live music is set to fill the air, with bands playing at venues from Amityville to Bay Shore, including a stop for The Durdy Rockas at Great South Bay Brewery.

Whether you are seeking community involvement, family entertainment, or a great night out, the local events in October offer something for everyone in Babylon.
