Montauk Youth's annual field day, a Montauk tradition since the 1980s that is co-sponsored by Third House Nature Center, will be held on Sunday from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Montauk County Park.

The free event includes potato sack and egg and spoon races, obstacle courses, a tug of war, face painting, relay races, and a bouncy slide and castle. Hot dogs, soups, chili, cotton candy, popcorn, and snacks will be sold and there will be a raffle to offset the cost of the event. Bingo Bango, a kinetic band based in Sag Harbor with Rob Florio, Steven Skoldberg, Howard Mitchell, and Catherine Caylus, will provide the tunes.

Those interested in volunteering have been asked to send an email to [email protected].
