Looking for some recommendations from the northforker team for events elsewhere in Suffolk County this week?
Here’s five events and activities happening ‘off the fork.’
Alive After Five in Patchogue
Had a great time at Alive on 25 in Riverhead last week? Check out the event that started it all: Alive on 25 in Patchogue.
Main Street will close to traffic from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday, August 3 for four hours of food, drinks and fun. The popular street fair, which rotates with the Riverhead event, returns for a final night on August 17.

The HooDoo Loungers at the Bellport Bandshell
The nine-piece New Orleans style jazz band will add a little cajun spice to this popular South Shore summer music series on Friday, August 4. If you’ve never been to a bandshell show, the best way to describe it would be Greenport’s Dances in the Park but on a different bay.
The free shows continue through Labor Day with a different musical style represented each week.
