A three-day open house at Marders nursery and gift shop in Bridgehampton, decorated in spectacular fashion, is sure to get visitors in the holiday spirit.

Folks from the Southampton Animal Shelter will be on site on Friday and Sunday at noon with adoptable dogs — a puppy for Christmas? — and the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons will have cats in need of forever homes at Marders on Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m.

And there’s more: Volunteers with the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center will introduce some of its resident birds of prey on Friday and Sunday from 1 to 3. The Steve Shaughnessy Trio plays Friday and Saturday at 1 and on Sunday at 2, and the Genesis Gospel Choir will be in the house Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon.
