The Amagansett U.S. Life-Saving and Coast Guard Station will host its sixth annual lobster bake fund-raiser on Saturday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the restored 1902 building on Atlantic Avenue.

Tickets, by advance purchase only, are $150, $100 for children 12 and under. They are available at amagansettlss.org/product/lobster-bake-2 and at Amagansett Wine and Spirits by credit or debit card, cash, or check made out to Amagansett L.S. and C.G. Station Society.

The fund-raiser will include live music. Those seeking additional information have been asked to call 631-527-7317. To-go lobster bake meals will be on sale, for less, after the weekend and through September.

Michael Cinque, co-president of the station’s board of trustees, told the East Hampton Town Board on Tuesday that the lobster bake is “our major fund-raiser” and “has really helped us with fund-raising.” The board includes Coast Guardsmen, he said, and all are “excited for the upcoming season now that we’re open to the public, leading off with Saturday’s on-site lobster bake, which we haven’t done in three years.”

Mr. Cinque said he is trying to build the station’s docent program as well as its collection, and asked for the public’s help in searching for “odds and ends that go back to one of the lifesaving stations that was out here.” The station now has a gift shop, he added.

“One thing we felt was important was to engage the community,” said Scott Bradley, the board’s other co-president. The principals, he said, hope to bring more people “into a really special place that has a tremendous amount of history. We’ve achieved that over the last couple years” despite the pandemic, he said.

A full schedule of events is on the station’s website.
