St. Luke’s Episcopal Church’s annual summer fair — its 140th! — happens on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in East Hampton Village. Admission is free, as are activities for kids like puppet and magic shows and circus-style entertainment. A $40 wrist- band lets them do all activities, from face painting to a bouncy castle and games.

For adults, there will be food, vintage clothing and collectibles, and a silent auction for golf outings at the Maidstone Club, the Bridge, Sebonack, and Jackson Hole, Wyo., and even a prime Christmas Eve parking spot at St. Luke’s. Bidding for auction items is already live through a link on the St. Luke’s website.
