🏀 The Harlem Wizards Dazzle Bay Shore! 🏀

On October 16th, 2025, the legendary Harlem Wizards brought their high-flying, crowd-pleasing basketball magic to Bay Shore—and they lit up the gym with laughter, energy, and jaw-dropping entertainment!

Since 1962, the Wizards have wowed audiences around the world with a unique blend of basketball trickery, comedy, and fan interaction—and their Bay Shore performance was no exception. Leading the charge was the one and only King Arthur, guiding his team of elite athletes through a night packed with slam dunks, alley-oops, and laugh-out-loud moments.

Over 850 community members came out to join the fun—students, parents, teachers, staff, and local supporters filled the stands, cheering on the Wizards and our very own Bay Shore Dream Team, who took the court in a spirited showdown.

In a heartwarming and unforgettable moment, Bay Shore’s very own Unified Basketball Team hit the court during the third quarter to tag in and support the Bay Shore Dream Team. Their energy, teamwork, and passion lit up the gym, bringing the crowd to their feet! The Unified team’s appearance was a powerful reminder of the spirit of inclusion and community— though we ALL battled against the Wizards ultimately the Wizards were victorious! It was truly a highlight of the night and a moment of pride for all.

Throughout the night the gym was electric with energy, as students laughed, danced, and cheered for their teachers and local stars going head-to-head with the Wizards. From hilarious hijinks to amazing athleticism, the night was filled with unforgettable memories for kids and adults alike.

It truly takes a village … Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a slam dunk success!
