From the fireworks you watch at Gantry State Park in Astoria to the treats at the Lemon Ice King of Corona; from the Playground For All Children at Flushing Meadows to Mets games at Shea Stadium, Queens has it all for summer fun.
Keep this guide with you throughout the season as beautiful days and warm nights wrap you in the joy that only summer in Queens can bring.
Stroll the street fairs, plays games on your stoop, swing a gold club, frolic in the park, have a barbecue and enjoy your summer with friends and family.
And as the days grow shorter, as kids get ready to go back to school and as the mercury starts to make its downward turn, keep looking back to these pages to help keep the season alive - keep summer in your heart, despite what the calendar tries to tell you.
