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].

Time to Strip, Dip, Freeze

Polar plunges at Main Beach in East Hampton and Beach Lane in Wainscott on New Year’s Day accomplish many things: bracing and exhilarating starts to the year, the company of many hundreds of friends and fellow townspeople, and a chance to secure bragging rights that extend well into 2026. But most important, each serves as a critical fund-raiser for food pantries.

Support Where It’s Most Needed

Soon after moving to Water Mill with her family in 2015, Marit Molin became aware of a largely unacknowledged population underpinning the complicated Hamptons economy. That led her to create Hamptons Community Outreach, which is dedicated to meeting basic critical needs to help break cycles of poverty.
