The Sag Harbor Chamber of Commerce’s annual HarborFrost returns Friday and Saturday, bringing fireworks and winter activities like ice carving and fire dancing to Main Street and beyond.

A party at the Sag Harbor Cinema at 5:30 p.m. Friday begins the celebration, with more than a dozen local restaurants contributing to a “taste of Sag Harbor.” Tickets, which are available on Eventbrite by searching “HarborFrost,” are $60, or $50 for chamber members.

The festivities continue at the cinema on Saturday with repeated screenings of “Where the North Begins,” a 1923 silent film featuring Rin-Tin-Tin, and free samples of hot chocolate from 1 to 4 p.m. The cinema’s Green Room Bar will open early, at 2 p.m., offering chili, and then at 5:30 George Howard brings live music.

The Kidd Squid brewery on Spring Street will be another place to catch some music that day, as Woody Boley plays country and rockabilly at 2 p.m. before an acoustic set by Jon Divello at 5.

Richard Daly, a master ice carver from Ice Melodies, a Long Island group, makes his return to carve sculptures at noon at the south end of Main Street near the Civil War monument, and he’ll be back at it at 2:30 at Steinbeck Park.

On Windmill Beach, fire dancing and juggling by Keith Leaf and His Flaming Friends is set for 5 p.m. The evening’s main event, a Grucci fireworks display, goes off at 5:45.
