The Montauk Seafood Festival returns to the downtown green this weekend, with food from local restaurants under a big tent along with games, temporary tattoos, face painting, and an ocean exploration table for kids. There will also be live music by Hopefully Forgiven on Saturday and the Holiday Ramblers on Sunday.

The festival runs from noon to 5 p.m. both days, rain or shine. Admission is $5, cash only, with proceeds going to the Montauk Friends of Erin and the East Hampton Kiwanis Club. Take note: Dogs will not be allowed under the tent.
