Top 3 Things to Do on Staten Island This Weekend (Sept 5–7, 2025)

As summer winds down, Staten Island lights up with local charm, history, and laughter. Whether you're looking to connect with nature, dive into our borough's rich past, or just unwind with some comedy, this weekend offers something for everyone. Here are the top 3 things to do on Staten Island from Friday, September 5 through Sunday, September 7.


1. Heritage Farm Stand Saturdays at Snug Harbor

📅 When: Saturday, September 6 • 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 Where: Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden
📌 Address: 1000 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301
💵 Admission: Free

Why You Should Go
Snug Harbor’s Heritage Farm Stand is more than a market—it's a weekly celebration of fresh food, sustainability, and Staten Island’s agricultural legacy. Nestled within the lush grounds of the Snug Harbor Cultural Center, this open-air event features seasonal produce grown right on the 2.5-acre Heritage Farm.

But this isn't just about shopping for fruits and vegetables. You’ll find:

  • Locally-made artisanal foods

  • Small-batch honey and jams

  • Eco-conscious goods

  • Garden tours and family-friendly activities

Bring the kids, your reusable tote, and a camera—because between the historic buildings, flower-lined walkways, and Instagram-worthy produce stands, you’ll find peace and inspiration around every corner.

Bonus: The serene setting makes this a great spot for a relaxed Saturday morning date or a family outing. After your farm stand visit, explore the Chinese Scholar’s Garden, the Staten Island Museum, or enjoy a picnic on the lawns.


2. 1776 Peace Conference Celebration at Conference House Park

📅 When: Saturday, September 6 • 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
📍 Where: Conference House Park
📌 Address: 298 Satterlee Street, Staten Island, NY 10307
💵 Admission: Free

Why You Should Go
Did you know Staten Island played a role in the American Revolution?

Step back into the 18th century this weekend at the 1776 Peace Conference Celebration, commemorating the historic meeting between Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and British Admiral Lord Howe that took place at the Conference House in 1776.

This event is one of Staten Island’s most immersive and educational historical reenactments. Enjoy:

  • Colonial-era reenactors and costumed interpreters

  • Live demonstrations including blacksmithing and cooking

  • Revolutionary War drills and musket demonstrations

  • Storytelling and guided tours of the Conference House

  • Local food vendors and family games

This celebration is perfect for families, history buffs, and anyone interested in Staten Island’s unique place in America’s founding story.

Insider Tip: Arrive early to grab a good viewing spot near the main reenactment area. And don’t miss the guided walk down the surrounding trails and shoreline, which offer gorgeous views of Raritan Bay.


3. Big Stuff Comedy Fridays at 4 Willow Ave

📅 When: Friday, September 5 • 9:00 PM
📍 Where: 4 Willow Ave, Staten Island, NY 10305
💵 Admission: Approx. $15 (check local listings for ticket availability)

Why You Should Go
Need a good laugh? Look no further than Big Stuff Comedy Fridays—a rising gem in the Staten Island comedy scene.

Held at a cozy, local venue just off the beaten path, this event features:

  • A rotating lineup of NYC’s funniest up-and-coming stand-up comedians

  • Signature cocktails and bar snacks

  • A laid-back vibe perfect for a Friday night date or a night out with friends

The space is small and intimate—every seat feels like front row. Comedians are known to riff off the crowd, creating a unique and unpredictable experience every time.

Local Favorite: The venue often features Staten Island natives who have gone on to perform at the Comedy Cellar, Gotham Comedy Club, and beyond—so you never know who might pop in for a surprise set.

Pro Tip: Doors open at 8:30 PM—arrive early for the best seats. It's first-come, first-served and shows often sell out.

Whether you're buying fresh vegetables at Snug Harbor, immersing yourself in the borough’s colonial past at the Conference House, or supporting emerging talent in the comedy scene, you're helping local businesses, artists, and cultural institutions thrive.
