Start Your Hamptons Weekend with Fridays at Five Author Series

The Hamptons attract some of the most interesting people—just look at the Fridays at Five Author Series at the Hampton Library in Bridgehampton, sponsored by Saunders & Associates. Every Friday at 5 pm, all Summer Saunders Agents and the library host some of the best and brightest authors to the Hamptons. 

Gates open at 4:30 pm, with tickets available on-site, not in advance. Tickets are affordable at $25 per lecture or a six-lecture pass: $125.

Veteran Saunders real estate agent, Bridgehampton Firefighter, and local hockey coach Ed Gaetjens frequently host Friday at Five events. Ed is there almost every week and says, “It’s just a great way to start your weekend in the Hamptons, and it shows the hospitality and engagement of our community out here on the East End.”

Ed Continues, “The Hamptons is home to so many amazing people and attracts even more during the Summer. As a host and as an attendee, I love being part of the Fridays at Five series because I get to meet the most interesting people—and I’m not just speaking of the authors!”
