What's Open and Closed for Columbus Day

Many local places will be closed to honor the federal holiday.

 

It's Columbus Day. The federal holiday celebrate the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas in October 1492. In more modern times, it has become a day for Italian Americans to show pride in their heritage.  

While government offices and local schools may be closed to recognize the federal holiday, there is still plenty happening in and near Hauppauge.
