On Saturday it's HarborFrost time. Starting at 1 p.m. on Long Wharf and going until dark, the Sag Harbor Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual winter celebration, highlighting two extreme elements — fire and ice.

Ice-carving demonstrations, ice sculptures along Main Street, a scavenger hunt, an outdoor dance party at Steinbeck Park, and fire dancers at Windmill Beach are all on the agenda. Fireworks will be set off over the harbor at 5:45. 

A full schedule of events is online at sagharborchamber.com.
