The crawls
Two of the biggest costume crawls on Long Island, both in downtown Farmingdale, both for a good cause.
Saturday, Dec 19, 2026
For more than a decade, Santas, elves and holiday sweaters have taken over downtown Farmingdale. Check in at The Nutty Irishman, hit the specials from noon to 4 PM, then head to the after party from 4 to 8 PM.
Benefits Toys of Hope. Nearly 1,500 Santas came out in 2018, and the crawl raised $8,000 for Toys of Hope the year before.
Every March
The Irish pride bar crawl. Leprechauns, kilts and shamrocks paint downtown Farmingdale green every March. Check in at The Nutty Irishman, specials run noon to 4 PM, and the after party goes until 8 PM.
Benefits the Saint Kilian Church Food Pantry in Farmingdale.
