Sag Harbor eateries including the Corner Bar, Il Cappuccino, Tutto il Giorno, and Sag Pizza will provide the food for a garden party Saturday to benefit the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum.

Dubbed the Calm Before the Storm, because we know the storm of full-blown summer is just around the corner, the event will also feature live jazz, an auction of "Hamptons experiences" and good, and libations from Channing Daughters winery in Bridgehampton and Kidd Squid Brewing in Sag Harbor. It will run from 5 to 7 p.m. on the museum's lawn.

Tickets cost $50, or $40 for museum members, and can be purchased through the website.
