Here are our top picks for family-friendly events and activities to add to your list for this long holiday weekend. Indigenous Peoples Day falls on Monday, October 9, and marks the holiday formerly known as Columbus Day for NYC's school kids. Families can visit Governors Island for [FREE dance performances]( or head to Randall's Island to [celebrate the original native New Yorkers]( on Sunday and Monday. Columbus Day celebrations linger as well, including the [nearly century-old parade]( on Fifth Avenue. Beyond the holiday, the weekend is packed: [The Little Red Lighthouse Festival]( is beaming uptown. Carnegie Hall's FREE family day salutes [50 years of hip-hop](. And kids get turned on to classical music at the [Queens Theatre's Classical Kids Fair](.
