On Saturday, May 20, East Hampton Village will be abuzz with excitement as the East Hampton Chamber of Commerce presents the First Annual Spring Celebration Street Fair.
“The first annual East Hampton Village Street Fair promises to be a day of fun for locals and visitors alike,” explained Steve Haweeli, East Hampton Chamber President. “It’s a chance to mingle with friends and to interact with artsy vendors, non-profits and listen to live music. It’s a can’t miss!”
Taking place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Fair will span from Park Place to Main Street, with Newtown Lane lined with over 75 booths that represent the area’s beloved artists, shopkeepers and non-profits – like the Pollock-Krasner House, the East End Children’s Museum, the East Hampton YMCA, East Hampton Historical Society and East Hampton Trails Preservation Society, and many, many more.
“As members of the East Hampton Chamber, we are excited to provide our exciting youth and family programs in the middle of Newtown Lane for this great event for the community,” noted Glenn Vickers II, YMCA East Hampton Executive Director.
The Street Fair will also feature a Main Street Stage where attendees can kick back, relax and listen to live music from local legends all day.
The Fair will bring together many of the area’s beloved businesses, community members and non-profits. “This is a day that like a bottle of perfume, is East Hampton in a bottle – where one can smell, see, taste, feel, and touch the year round best of all that is East Hampton – one week before the summer season officially begins,” Steven Ringel, Executive Director of the East Hampton Chamber, noted.
“The East Hampton Spring Street Fair will an amazing day of Fun in the Sun – a truly unique festival featuring live local bluegrass, folk, and rock on our main stage – free yoga classes, dog/cat adoptions, CPR training for children and adults, a huge Kidzone with so much just for them, even a large mural being painted on site all day,” shared Ringel. “Come see over 75 booths with local artists, interesting non-profits, and yummy food and drinks.”
While there’s certainly something for all ages, with a climbing wall, jumping castle, face painters, arts and crafts and more, you’ll have a hard time convincing your little ones to leave the fun filled Kidzone.
“Come and get a backstage pass to the best that East Hampton Village has to offer,” encourages Ringel. “The East Hampton Street Fair will be a chance to experience the best East Hampton has to offer – live music, great art, interesting crafts, food and drink, a Kidzone just for little one’s hosted by the YMCA and the East End Children’s Museum – and so much more. Where else can you adopt a dog or cat, see a farm exhibit, have a free yoga class, learn CPR, watch a mural being painted and dance in the streets with your friends all day? “
Additionally, Amber Waves Farms will be providing a hands-on farming exhibit for all ages and Hampton Free Ride will be providing shuttle service from the John Marshall Elementary School parking lot.
“Come and discover the reasons to live, thrive, and revive in the vibrant-village that is East Hampton,” added Ringel.

Luxury of Restraint: Inside the Quiet Confidence of STUDIOBKM’s Aesthetic
I first noticed 55 Wickatuck Drive in Sag Harbor because the gorgeously redesigned home had a real point of view—calm, edited, and quietly specific. That is, it felt like a home, not a project. The styling is intentional without feeling staged: elevated finishes, relaxed coastal ease, a level of cohesion that shows someone cared about the home’s full experience, not just the high-impact moments.
Even after the home sold, something about the property stayed with me. Luckily for me, the real estate agent who sold the property, Sarah Doud, picks up her phone when I call (to be fair, she would probably answer your call, too). She told me the renovation and interiors were designed by STUDIOBKM and Brian K. Mims, a studio approach centered on luxury that simplifies living rather than complicating it. The spaces feel restorative, considered, and durable enough to handle real life in the Hamptons: sandy feet, wet dogs, last-minute guests, all of it.

From Rosé to a Lifestyle Collective: Jesse Bongiovi on Building Lily Pond Group
When Jesse Bongiovi launched Hampton Water Wine Co. with his dad, Jon Bon Jovi, in 2018, he helped redefine what modern rosé could look and feel like—sun-soaked, effortless, and rooted in moments shared with the people you love.
Now, with the growth of Lily Pond Group, he’s expanding that vision far beyond the bottle. Influenced by years spent in the Hamptons’ uniquely relaxed and refined culture, Jesse’s approach to brand-building is all about capturing a feeling: the blend of ease, taste, and connection that defines a perfect summer day out East.
