HarborFest 2022 will take place on Saturday and Sunday in Sag Harbor, with the village's rich maritime history on display. Long Wharf will be full of activities. Music, kid stuff, food, beer, wine, and dozens of vendors will represent Sag Harbor's cultural and artistic history. A clam chowder contest will be held Sunday at noon, and the whaleboat races will push off from Windmill Beach both days.

Meanwhile, just down the road, this year's HarborFest Arts and Crafts Fair will take place in Marine Park. More than 50 vendors will be there to sell their handmade art, jewelry, and other crafts.

A detailed list of all the events is at sagharborchamber.com.
