What’s Going On In The Hamptons Memorial Day Weekend 2018

Memorial Day weekend is almost here, and that means time for some of the Hampton’s best summer parties. Everyone loves to celebrate the spirit of summer with beach time, barbeques, and summer night soirees. Here are our favorite events taking place in the Hamptons this Memorial Day weekend. 

This year marks the 10th Annual Montauk Memorial Day Show on the Green, a popular annual favorite for art lovers. Friday night the show runs from noon to 6:00pm; Saturday and Sunday hours are 10:00am – 6:00pm. Browse world-class art from international artists as well as those who call the Montauk area home. You never know when you’ll find the perfect piece of art or a stunning new necklace. There’s something here for everyone. 

This family-friendly event will kick off your summer the right way. Locally prepared chowders and BBQ lunches will keep your stomach happy, while activities such as face-painting and clamshell art will keep the kids entertained. To complete the ambiance you will find live music by Who Are Those Guys.

The event takes place Saturday, May 26th 12:00pm – 3:00pm. Tickets are $25 for adults and $5 for children 6-11. Children 5 and under are free.

If swing dancing, big band music, and free-flowing wine are more your thing, check out the East End Summer KickOff Saturday night at 8:00pm held at the Suffolk Theater. Tunes courtesy of the New Millennium Big Band Orchestra. The restaurant opens at 6:30pm and there’s cabaret seating, or you can show up for show-time, ready to kick up your feet to the best of Frank Sinatra’s music. 

Do good and have fun at this summer evening soiree, held at the Bridgehampton Tennis & Surf Club. Proceeds from this cocktail reception benefit Long Islands’ LGBT Network. You’ll enjoy an open bar, light nibbles, and a silent auction. 

Just in case you’ve never been to the Hamptons, know that holiday weekends and summer bring out the crowds. Leave yourself tons of time to travel (leave early if you can) and consider a stop-off at the New York Institute of Beauty and ’beat the stress’ with a soothing facial or body treatment.
