Celebrate Sag Harbor’s HarborFrost 2018 This Weekend
Winter is coming, er, winter came and is mostly gone at this point. Many places in New England are bracing for mid-February temps in the 60s. Here on the East End we’ll be flirting with 50°. But that won’t stop the quaint former whaling village of Sag Harbor from celebrating the winter season at the 8th annual Sag Harbor HarborFrost this Saturday, February 24.
They’ll do so with a bang, a sizzle and many a tasty treat. And we’re all invited! Whether you like fire (as in fire jugglers, fire dancers and fireworks) or ice (as in ice carving demonstrations and ice sculptures), HarborFrost will have something special for you and yours. And if it gets really frosty out, don’t worry, John Jermain Memorial Library will have a self-serve hot chocolate station operating until 4:30 p.m.
Once you’ve had enough HarborFun, come back Sunday for Sylvester Manor’s fourth annual black history event.
