This week on the Long Island Tea Podcast, Michael is filling in for Sharon as he and Stacy celebrate Pride Month, share exciting events happening across Long Island, and catch up on some recent adventures. Michael recaps a day spent filming with the Discover Long Island social team in Port Jefferson, while Stacy shares highlights from the HIA Trade Show alongside the Discover Long Island team. They also tackle an important Long Island food debate: should a lobster roll be served hot with butter or cold with mayo? From honoring Long Island-raised activist Brenda Howard, whose impact helped shape a global movement, to exploring local history, summer traditions, family fun, and community celebrations, this episode is packed with the people, places, and stories that make Long Island such a special place to live, visit, and explore. #ShowUsYourLongIslander This week we're spotlighting Brenda Howard, the Long Island-raised activist known as the "Mother of Pride." After participating in the 1969 Stonewall uprising, Brenda helped organize the first Christopher Street Liberation Day March, now recognized as the world's first Pride parade. Her lifelong dedication to LGBTQ+ rights, inclusion, and activism helped lay the foundation for Pride celebrations around the world and left a lasting impact on generations to come.

Operated by the Historical Society of Greater Port Jefferson, the museum preserves the area's rich maritime and shipbuilding history through exhibits, artifacts, historic buildings, and stories that showcase how Port Jefferson evolved from a working harbor town into the vibrant waterfront village it is today. #LongIslandLife We're also talking about the return of Music on Main in Farmingdale, one of Long Island's favorite summer traditions, bringing live music, dining, dancing, and community celebrations back to Main Street throughout the summer. Plus, Regal's Summer Movie Express is offering families affordable movie outings all summer long, and Adventureland is introducing exciting new attractions, including Wave Twister and the return of the beloved Ram pirate ship ride. #WildThingsOfTheWeek Eleven ducklings were safely rescued from a storm drain by local animal rescuer John DeBacker. After a careful rescue effort and a happy reunion with their mother, the duck family was guided safely to a nearby canal where they swam away together. #ThisWeekendOnLongIsland Friday, June 5 Bay Shore Farmers Market "Just Powers: Long Island Biennial 2026" at the Heckscher Museum of Art Rooftop Lounge DJ Party at RUMBA Three Village Farmers & Artisans Market Saturday, June 6 Art in the Parking Lot: Fine Art & Craft Fair Billy Joel Symposium at the Long Island Museum and Entertainment Hall of Fame Lavender Festival & French Market at Waterdrinker Family Farm Sunday, June 7 Atlantic Wind Symphony High School Senior Awards Concert Bridgerton Inspired High Tea at Oheka Castle Revolutionary Tea Party at the Sag Harbor Whaling Museum For more events and things happening all across Long Island, please visit discoverlongisland.com/events.
