In addition to the sumptuous bites and sips, there will be live music provided by Mike Ficco Jazz Quartet.

“We look forward to participating in this event each year,” Dave Ceva, Solé East Owner, reflected. “It’s a great local event highlighting the best that Montauk has to offer with both food and beverages. And it supports the local Montauk Chamber! We look forward to a fun evening.”

“This event always showcases the best food and beverage the East End has to offer and we are honored to be there,” Cutillo added.
