History Repeatn’s Star Wars Day celebration returns to Northport Village, NY, bringing a full day of galactic fun for all ages.
From photos with characters from the movies, to a family-friendly scavenger hunt and a Star Wars-themed pub crawl for adults, this village-wide event brings the entire Northport community together for an unforgettable time while supporting a meaningful cause.
“It’s amazing to see Star Wars fans of all ages come together, connect with these great Northport businesses, and support an incredible local organization.” said John N. Daniello, co-founder of History Repeatn’. “That kind of community energy is what History Repeatn’ is all about.”
The adventure begins with the family-friendly Padawan Crawl through Main Street, where History Repeatn’ has partnered with local businesses to offer a variety of engaging crafts and exciting giveaways for children.
The crawl will kick off at 11a.m. with check-in at the courtyard of Trinity Episcopal Church. There, families can begin their adventure by snapping Instagram-worthy photos with Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia before embarking on a Star Wars-themed scavenger hunt, presented by History Repeatn’.
The Journey To Jedi scavenger hunt will give children the opportunity to explore the village at their own pace while searching for familiar faces from their favorite saga.
“We’ve been looking forward to bringing this event back,” said Pete Gallo, co-founder of History Repeatn’. “Last year, we met visitors from all over who came to Northport to have a great time.”
The fun doesn’t stop there; Padawans can continue the excitement with a visit to SweetArts for a Star Wars-themed painting craft*, followed by a trip to LICs Ice Cream to indulge in a limited-time History Repeatn’ The Dark Side ice cream*, providing a sweet ending to the day’s adventures (*activities are optional with additional fee).
🎫 Proceeds from the Padawan Crawl go to Paws of War.
Recommended price: $5/child
After the morning’s family-friendly activities, the celebration continues with an exclusive Star Wars-themed pub crawl for ages 21 and over. Led by Princess Leia, the Cantina Crawl will challenge participants to Star Wars trivia as they visit Sand City Brewery, La Porta, Feed & Grain and Rockin’ Fish for themed drinks, specials and more. Costumes are strongly encouraged, ensuring an unforgettable, boozy galactic adventure.
Throughout the day, attendees will be able to purchase Chewbacca Chances, for a chance to win a mystery Star Wars Grand Prize and gift cards to Einstein’s Attic valued between $5-$20. All proceeds from the Padawan Crawl and the Chewbacca Chances will be donated to Paws of War, a non-profit organization on Long Island that uses golf and camaraderie as tools to support and uplift veterans in need.
