For this upcoming weekend across the South Fork a good portion of the activities center around women, both young and not young, who are in the arts. Whether you’re looking for a good laugh and show from a veteran Broadway actor, an exhibition dedicated to observing the natural world from a thirty something artist, a talk with a best-selling author, or something in the middle, the ladies got you covered! Also, don’t forget, the Hamptons Fine Art Fair starts this weekend in Southampton. For tickets and more information, click here. And if you missed all the firework action over the last week, ride on over to Shelter Island — they always do their beachside display the week after and it’s well worth the ferry fare.

Last call for Fourth fireworks

There’s really nothing like hanging out on the beach and watching the light show that is the ever excellent display that happens annually for the Shelter Island Fireworks. Run by a local volunteer group who banded together in 2015 to save the long-standing island tradition, folks can gather at Crescent Beach at dusk for the 9 p.m. show Saturday (although judging by the weird weather, they may well use that rain date in their hip pocket of Sunday, July 14). Grab a blanket, bring a picnic basket and come see the show.
