Beatles Tribute, Easter Egg Hunts, and Trail Volunteering
Staten Island has a solid lineup this weekend with something for music lovers, families, and outdoor enthusiasts. From a legendary tribute show at St. George Theatre to a plastic-free egg hunt at Clay Pit Ponds, here’s everything happening on the Island this April 4-5.
Beatles Blast 2026 at St. George Theatre — Saturday, April 4
The Best of the Best: Beatles Blast 2026 takes the stage at the stunning St. George Theatre at 8 p.m. This tribute concert celebrates the Fab Four with a full production that brings the energy and musicianship fans expect from a venue of this caliber. St. George Theatre is located at 35 Hyatt Street, just a short walk from the Staten Island Ferry terminal. If you’ve never been inside this beautifully restored 1929 theater, this is a great excuse to go. Check the St. George Theatre website for ticket availability.
Eggstravaganza at Clay Pit Ponds — Saturday, April 4
Families should head to Clay Pit Ponds State Park Preserve for the “Eggstravaganza!” from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This self-guided, plastic-free egg hunt takes you along the park’s trails, where kids search for wooden eggs and exchange them for prizes at the Nature Interpretive Center. The park is located at 2351 Veterans Road West. Bring your own basket and dress for the trails — this is an outdoor adventure, weather permitting. It’s free and perfect for families looking for something a little different from the typical egg hunt.
Trail Building at Wolfe’s Pond Park — Saturday, April 4
The NYCMTB (New York City Mountain Bike Trail Volunteers) meet on the first Saturday of every month at Wolfe’s Pond Park from 9 a.m. to noon to help build, maintain, and ride the trails. Even if you’re not a mountain biker, this is a great volunteer opportunity to help maintain one of Staten Island’s best trail systems. The park is located on Hylan Boulevard in Prince’s Bay, and the trails run through some of the borough’s most beautiful woodland.
NYRR Open Run — Saturday, April 4
Lace up your sneakers for the free NYRR Open Run, a community-led 5K that happens weekly in neighborhood parks across the city. Staten Island’s run kicks off between 8:45 and 10:30 a.m. — check the NYRR website for the specific park location this week. No registration required, all paces welcome. It’s the easiest way to start your Saturday with some movement and meet other local runners.
Westerleigh Park Cleanup — Saturday, April 4
The Westerleigh Parks Coalition is organizing a volunteer cleanup at Westerleigh Park from 9 a.m. to noon. Help rake leaves, clear debris, and get the park ready for spring. It’s a low-key, feel-good morning activity that connects you with neighbors who care about their shared green space.
Zumba in the Park — Saturday, April 4
Get your body moving with a free Zumba fitness class from 9 to 10 a.m. in a Staten Island park. These community fitness sessions are open to everyone regardless of fitness level, and they’re a fun way to start the weekend with energy. Check NYC Parks event listings for the exact location.
