What is the dress code?

While there is not a specific dress code, we recommend summer nautical fashion. Think yacht attire. For men derby hats, seersucker or linen suits, boat shoes or sandals. For the ladies, a nice summer dress, a big hat if you choose, sandals. Be you! Be comfortable! Be Sag Harborlike!

Are there any discounts available for students or seniors?

At this time we are not able to offer discounts outside of the Early Bird Ticket Specials. Please be reminded that the Festival is a fundraiser.
