What’s Happening on Staten Island This Weekend (March 22–23, 2025): Family Fun and Local Culture

Spring is (finally!) in the air, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve been itching to get out of the house and make the most of the warmer weather. Whether you're a lifelong Staten Islander or just exploring the borough, this weekend has a little something for everyone—from historic tavern vibes to hands-on kids’ workshops. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the top events happening across the Island, with tips and insights to help you plan a fun, stress-free outing.

 🎻 SOLD OUT BUT NOTEWORTHY:

Tavern Concert: The Jolly Roving Tars 

📍 Location: Guyon Tavern, Historic Richmond Town, 441 Clarke Avenue 

🗓️ Date & Time: Saturday, March 22, 2025, at 7:00 PM 

🎟️ Status: Sold Out 

While you won’t be able to grab tickets for this one (unless you know someone who knows someone), it’s worth mentioning for future planning. Historic Richmond Town’s tavern concerts are intimate and unique, especially in this cozy candlelit setting that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a different century. 

🧒 Free Family Fun: Pre-K for All Admission Day 

📍 Location: Staten Island Children's Museum, 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building M 

🗓️ Date & Time: Saturday, March 22, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM 

💲 Admission: FREE 

This isn’t just a regular museum visit—it’s an early childhood resource fair packed with info, giveaways, and activities for the little ones. Expect tables from local partners offering guidance on schooling, healthcare, dental support, emotional well-being, and more. Plus, the museum itself is running with special hours. 

Why it’s worth going: If you're a parent or caregiver of a preschooler, this is gold. Not only will your child be entertained, but you’ll also walk away better informed about resources available on Staten Island. I remember going when my nephew was little—it was a one-stop-shop for everything we didn’t even realize we needed to know. 

🎨 Hands-On Art: Weekend Walk-In Workshop – Gilding with Gold 

📍 Location: Staten Island Children's Museum 

🗓️ Date & Time: Saturday, March 22 & Sunday, March 23, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM 

💲 Admission: Included with museum entry 

Calling all mini-Monets! In this walk-in workshop, kids can create original art and then take it to the next level by adding gold leaf or metallic accents, inspired by legendary artists like Klimt and Warhol. 

What’s cool about this: It’s not just about glue and glitter—this is real art education wrapped in creativity. When my daughter tried a similar workshop, she was obsessed with making “shiny masterpieces” for days afterward. It’s also a great way to make art feel exciting and not overly structured. 

🍎 ShopRite Kidz Cook: Healthy Snack-Making 

📍 Location: Staten Island Children's Museum 

🗓️ Date & Time: Saturday, March 22, 2025, from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM 

👩‍🍳 Format: Walk-in, child + caregiver activity 

Here’s a great way to sneak in some life skills and nutrition education while having fun. Kids get to pick either a sweet or savory spread and layer it onto a rice cake, learning about ingredients and flavors in the process. 

It’s hands-on, it’s quick, and—best of all—it’s something they’ll want to recreate at home. My son made a peanut butter and strawberry combo last time that’s now a regular afternoon snack in our house. 

🎩 Laughs & Magic: Binx The Clown Funny Magic Show 

📍 Location: Staten Island Children's Museum 

🗓️ Date & Time: Sunday, March 23, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 4:45 PM 

🎭 Audience: Kids and grownups alike 

Binx the Clown brings the energy with comedy, surprises, and interactive magic that appeals to both children and adults. It’s a great way to wrap up the weekend with a few laughs and jaw-dropping moments. 

Binx has been a hit at birthday parties and public shows for years. The mix of humor and magic keeps even the toughest little critics entertained. One year, he made my niece “magically” pull a scarf out of her own sleeve—she still talks about it. 

Staten Island weekends like this prove it’s full of charm, culture, and family-friendly adventures. Whether you're into hands-on learning, historic music venues, or just need to keep the kids off screens for a few hours, there’s no shortage of things to do. 

Staten Island's vibrant community and diverse events ensure that there's always something exciting happening. Whether you're seeking educational activities for children, cultural experiences, or simply a fun day out, the weekend of March 22-23, 2025, offers a plethora of options. Embrace the opportunity to explore.
