'Tis the slow season, Hamptonites. A time when benefits are fewer and far between, when Surf Lodge takes a breather, and when the polo fields lie dormant. With that said, things do still happen, such as this weekend's HarborFest, Sag Harbor's charming 3-day festival now in its 19th year. All proceeds benefit the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum. Our favorite events of the weekend, below.
