Be-in, a.k.a. Happening, is an outdoor counter-culture extravaganza.  The first happenings or be-ins were held frequently in the late 1960’s, but our semi-annual event is held once during the summer, almost every summer.  Our first Happening was held at Wildwood State Park in Wading River in 1988, and was organized by Scott Petersen and Larry Sabatino, who, although no longer organizers, we would love to have attend this year, as we celebrate our 15th Anniversary! (In other words, we missed a few years back in the day) Our version of a Be-In combines a free acoustic and electric amplified concert with a b.y.o. picnic and barbecue, speakers, poetry readings, creative arts, face and body painting, etc.
