Greetings Hamptons Mouthpiece readers…. Today was an absolutely fabulous day in Sag Harbor ..hundreds of people from all over turned out to celebrate Harbor Festival. My day started with having a Pina Colada at B’Smith’s…it was delicious…then I walked around to the dozens of vendors on the long wharf, there were many food vendors, snow cones, live music and many local vendors raising awareness for their organizations….I then met up with my friends and sat on their boat chilling, talking and just taking in the breeze…the sunset was beautiful tonight and I wanted to share this fabulous image I captured. Thank you Sag Harbor Chamber of Commerce for a great day and to the Sag Harbor Police Dept for lifting the parking restrictions for the day.
Sunday is the 2nd day of Harbor Festival and also the 10th anniversary of 9/11….I will start my day with a moment of silence for the victims Capture a video of the 30th Annual Hamptons Triathlon then make my way to town to Harbor Festival and partake in the 2nd day of Festivities.
