Labor Day weekend is on the horizon, which means the unofficial and symbolic summer season is indeed near its end. However, East Hampton plans to end the season with a bang as Main Beach hosts a spectacle of fireworks on Saturday, September 1.
In case you have short-term memory loss or haven't been paying the closest attention to the headlines this summer, East Hampton was supposed to have its fireworks in conjunction with the Fourth of July holiday weekend on July 7. However, a pesky nest of piping plovers prevented all of that, but only for so long.
With the plovers' nest now useless as the offspring have grown and likely flown to other parts, there remains little concern about their habitat. So let the mid-air explosions of colorful light begin!
Plan now as the fireworks are scheduled to begin at the ever-elusive hour of dusk. Parking is on a first-come first-serve basis, no parking permit is required and there is no reserve parking. No vehicles are allowed on the beach from Egypt Beach to Georgica Beach inclusive.
