Actual, real-life reindeer will be among the extremely jolly attractions at Saturday’s Magic of Montauk holiday fair, which will also include a “local hot cocoa contest,” decorated holiday path (sponsored by Lighting the Christmas Joy decorating services), gift booths, kids’ activities, food trucks, a holiday bar with beer, mulled wine, and Montaukila tastings.

The fair will take place on the downtown green 2 to 7 p.m, with live music by Little Head Thinks from 4 to 7. The rain date is Sunday. 

On Sunday, before heading back to the North Pole to finish his chores, Santa will pay a visit to the Montauk Firehouse to meet with children, listen to Christmas wishes, and pose for photographs. Before he arrives by fire truck at 1 p.m., there will be games and crafts, a bouncy house, cookies, popcorn, and cotton candy.

While Captain Beebee’s headstone now sits pristine atop the hill next to the Old Whalers Church, the rest of the family’s six plots sit in disrepair. Recently, however, the museum received a $10,000 grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation, which will allow for the restoration of the remaining headstones.
