The holiday season arrives at the Montauk Lighthouse this weekend starting on Saturday with the annual Lighting of the Light from 4 to 7 p.m.

Sarah Conway and the Playful Souls will provide the holiday music, there will be hot chocolate courtesy of Hampton Coffee, and this year Nick Racanelli, a Montauk Historical Society board member, will have the honor of flipping the switch. The lights will be on until Jan. 1.

On Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the festivities continue when Santa comes to meet and take photos with children and families. Sarah Conway will return with her Christmas trio, and there will be more free hot chocolate from Hampton Coffee.
