Happening This Weekend 6/22/2018

Happy weekend! Don't you worry about a little drizzle - we know of plenty of places for you to duck inside and maybe even find some cute rain gear. Use our Shopping Guide to get acquainted with Beacon before you head out!

PS: Have you seen this cute street sign yet? It's a new one, designed to inspire people to keep walking - heading right down Tioronda, to find the new boutique Wares, or left toward the waterfall and such delights as The Chocolate Studio, which serves Moo Moo's ice cream, all the way around the bend near Fishkill Creek.
Sponsored by Antalek & Moore for car insurance.
