It’s official, Sag Harbor residents of the East Hampton Town side of the village will have to pay the full nonresident price to park at Southampton Town beaches come summer. The Southampton Town Board decided on March 3 to eliminate a special parking accommodation that has been on the books since 2021.

The waters of Sag Harbor were literally under a microscope at a Sag Harbor Village Board meeting on Tuesday night, when Stony Brook University released the latest on water quality in the village.

Montauk’s 64th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, happening at noon on March 29, is free to all. Two popular pre-parade events are likely to sell out, however, so those interested have been advised to secure tickets.

The famously brief Am O’Gansett Parade will begin Saturday at 12:01 p.m., led this year by Jim Lubetkin as grand marshal.
