It's hard to believe it is already time for the Sag Harbor Fire Department Carnival at Havens Beach, but it opens Tuesday night and will run until Saturday night, Aug. 6, with fireworks on Friday, Aug. 5. Rides, carnival games, cotton candy, and other food you should eat only once a year will make for a memorable evening, or two.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and next Thursday, $40 bracelets will be available at the ticket windows for unlimited rides. The fun, or mayhem, depending on the age of your child, runs from 5 to 10 nightly.

According to the National Weather Service's projections for Sag Harbor Village, there is a 20-percent chance of thunderstorms on Tuesday; the forecasts for Wednesday and Thursday look pretty clear, but rain is again possible on Friday and Saturday.

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
