Events for the weekend of April 17 to 19, 2026
Every week we read through everything happening across the South Shore and keep only what is actually worth your time. Here is what is on in Patchogue this weekend.
This Weekend's Top Picks in Patchogue: Back to the Blizzard & Anesthesia (Ozzy / Metallica Tributes) at 89 North Music Venue (Friday 7:00PM); Los Iracundos, Angeles Negros, Grupo Miralmar & Los Terricolas de Hoy at Stereo Garden (Friday 10:00PM).
Friday night at 89 North opens with a wall of sound. Back to the Blizzard and Anesthesia bring the full weight of Ozzy and Metallica to Patchogue in a double-bill tribute that leans all the way into arena-level theatrics on a club-sized stage. The room at 89 North runs hot for nights like this, where the crowd knows every riff before the band plays it. If your weekend starts loud, it starts here.
A touring lineup of Latin American legends takes over Stereo Garden on Friday night. Los Iracundos, Angeles Negros, Grupo Miralmar, and Los Terricolas de Hoy represent decades of romantic balada and cumbia, the kind of catalog that entire generations grew up singing along to. Stereo Garden's open floor gives nights like this room to breathe, and crowds for these tours tend to fill it early.
For Families in Patchogue this weekend: Fun with Printmaking! at Patchogue-Medford Library (Sunday 2:00PM).
An all-ages printmaking workshop at the Patchogue-Medford Library on Sunday afternoon. Hands go in the ink, paper comes out with something original, and nobody has to worry about making a mess at home. Creative, tactile, and the kind of afternoon project kids talk about for the rest of the week.
Date Night & Nightlife in Patchogue this weekend: LI Speed Dating: Men 42-57 / Women 37-54 at Lizard Lounge (Saturday 6:30PM); Spring Equinox: A Pole, Dance, and Aerial Show at The Fit Factory (Saturday 6:00PM).
A structured, low-pressure speed dating night at the Lizard Lounge in Bohemia. The format keeps things moving, the age range is specific enough that the room feels like peers rather than strangers, and the casual bar setting makes the whole thing feel more like a night out than an interview. Saturday evening, no overthinking required.
Saturday night at The Fit Factory in Bohemia transforms into a full-scale showcase of pole, dance, and aerial artistry. Spring Equinox is part performance, part spectacle, with athletes and artists pushing what the human body can do in ways that are equal parts athletic and cinematic. The kind of Saturday night you don't expect to find in Bohemia, which is exactly what makes it worth going.
