The annual Am O'Gansett Parade happens on Saturday at noon on the hamlet's Main Street. This year, Joe and Sal LaCarrubba will serve as grand marshals.

The parade, billed as the world's shortest, will pass the former LaCarrubba's clothing store, which was a Main Street fixture for more than 60 years.

"The brothers have been supporters of all things Amagansett all of their lives," reads a statement from the Chamber of Commerce. "They have served the community through their Main Street store and through various organizations, including the Amagansett Fire Department. Congratulations gents, we love you!"
