If you’re a fan of “America’s Got Talent,” head over to the Hampton Coffee Company in Southampton this Friday night for a super-charged shot of performances by gifted local kids right here on the South Fork.

“We’ve been hosting this event at Hampton Coffee Company in Southampton for the past several years with much success,” says Peter Strecker, Community Relations Specialist for the Town of Southampton Youth Bureau.
There’s no fee to perform—the price is purely in the currency of chutzpah. Singers, acoustic performers, spoken word, poetry, stand-up comedy and even karaoke acts are all welcome to get up and show the Hamptons what they’ve got.
The only parameter is to perform kids must be no younger than grade 5 and no older than grade 12. Who knows—you may discover that the next Harry Styles is right here in the Hamptons.
