This weekend sees a lot of South Fork locales collaborating with each other to bring top-notch entertainment to the masses. As always, enjoy some no-cost-to-listen-to music at some of our favorite SoFo locations, or gear up for a full on, show-stopping performance from a Broadway star, a puppeteer, or a theatrical ensemble putting on a musical to benefit a local historical society. If food’s on the brain, head to Amagansett for some free soft serve or maybe buck up for some comedy and a full sit-down dinner with drinks at the second annual “Cheers to Waterproofing,” to benefit the Hampton Lifeguard Association. Tickets are a little steep, but hey, they keep us safe in the water all season long, so they deserve every penny.
