The Hamptons in July is one of the best times to go. It’s filled with countless events that are made for everyone. From the younger ones to the more settled folks, the Hamptons are the prime spot to be in the summer. The summer weather is hotter than most of the year, and getting a cool cocktail at waterfront bars is highly recommended. There are concerts, workshops for the whole family, and even galas that you can attend. Here are the ten most notable July events in the Hamptons.
Early July
Start your summer with a fantastic event at the Surf Lodge. The Summer Music Concert series is on July 2 with the indie act St. Lucia this year. Known for hits like 2013’s Elevate and Dancing on Glass in 2016, it’s expected to be a fun event for residents and travelers. As you already know, the Surf Lodge is the place to be seen, and don’t expect this summer to be any different.Â
Summer is the perfect time to buy a new wardrobe, and Sag Harbor just got a new boutique. Located on 17 Washington Street, the new LoveBinetti boutique is a curated assortment of Fashion designer Diego Binetti’s favorite pieces. This is the best way to start if you want to elevate your fashions this summer.Â
If you’re in the mood for tall tales and smart music, take a gander at the July 7 Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center musical event featuring Alan Cumming & Ari Shapiro. It’s expected to entail many laughs, some boppy hits, and even a tale that will hit the rumor mill once or twice this summer.Â
Mid-JulyÂ
If you’re a fan of anything Broadway, you have to check out this benefit concert at the recently renovated Guild Hall. Spend an evening with famed artist, actor, and overall powerhouse Billy Porter on July 12 at 8 pm. The East Hampton event is expected to sell out, so get your tickets now to see the Grammy award-winning star and the recently renovated Guid Hall.Â
Jazz is returning, and the Southampton Arts Center on July 13 is the place to be. As part of the Jazzfest series running this summer, Akiko Tsugura headlines the July 13 event. Hailing from Osaka, Japan, Tsugura is a musical prodigy. Her love for the art form has garnered top positions on the National Radio Jazz Chart, and it would be a pity to miss her if you’re a fan of the genre.Â
Summer is the best time to unwind and relax, and what better way to do so than at the Art & Soul Hamptons – The Culture Experience at the Southampton Arts Center?
