Island in the sun

I know it's only midweek, but I know I'm not the only one looking ahead to the weekend. If yours isn't already jam-packed, I've some outer-borough and off-island Saturday events to share that just might strike your fancy.

If it's live music you're after, catch the ferry to Governor's Island to sway to sunny tunes from The Morning Benders with Freelance Whales and The Wild Nothing at 8pm. Free.

Get to Governor's early to get your buzz on by sampling beers from over 100 breweries at the 4th Annual NYC Brewfest from 3:30-8pm. Win tickets here, pay $55 for general admission (unlimited sampling), or just $25 for Music Lovers Tickets (includes water taxi transportation).

For the weird and wonderful, the Coney Island Mermaid Parade is a can't-miss summer tradition. Wave your freak flag high (registration to march in the parade ends tomorrow at midnight), or just watch - it's free.

Until then, happy humpday!
