The 78th Shinnecock Indian Nation powwow is planned for this weekend. The annual celebration of Indigenous cultural traditions brings together Native groups from many regions and offers educational opportunities for the community at large.

There will be dancing, drumming, and sunset fire-lighting ceremonies, and Native American arts, crafts, and food will be available for purchase.

The hours are Friday from 3 to 10 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Monday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets cost $20 per adult and $10 for senior citizens, children ages 5 to 12, and military personnel. Children under 5 (with adults) may attend for free.

Parking is also free. Alcohol and drugs, drones, and pets (except for service dogs with documentation) are not permitted on the powwow grounds. More information can be found online at shinnecock-nsn.gov/annual-powwow.

Villages

L.V.I.S. Fair Is Set for Saturday

The Ladies Village Improvement Society’s annual fair happens on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and this year’s “is bigger than ever,” the society says. Not only will the carousel be back, but the Playland area for kids will be expanded. There will be face painting, a roving magician, a bubble artist, and pony rides for the little ones.

Montauk Chemists Opens, Minus Pharmacy

Frank Calvo, the longtime pharmacist at White’s Drug and Department Store, which closed on Oct. 31, has opened Montauk Chemists on Main Street and is selling over-the-counter merchandise including vitamins and self-care products. One week after an inspection of the store’s pharmacy, however, he is still awaiting New York State approval to operate it.

Slow Start at New Gosman’s

In some ways, Gosman’s Dock, one of Montauk’s few remaining family-owned and operated businesses until its October 2024 sale, closely resembles the complex of restaurants and shops long revered by locals and visitors alike. In other ways, though, it is markedly different under its new ownership.
