The Kenney’s/McCabe’s Beach Civic Association will host its first-ever Kenney’s Beach Sunset Market on Saturday, July 18, from 5 p.m. until sunset in the Kenney’s Beach parking lot. Organizers say the event will be the first market of its kind held at a Southold Town beach.
The market will feature local food vendors, beverages, artisan goods, artwork and handcrafted merchandise. Participating vendors include Little Ram Oysters, Little Fish Restaurant, NOFO Style, NOFOk’n Way, artist Melissa Hyatt, Forked Road Press and several other local businesses and craftspeople.
“Kenney’s Beach is already one of the most popular and festive places to enjoy the glorious North Fork sunsets,” board member Glen Hoffman said in a statement. “We see this event as a way to amplify the special experience of Kenney’s Beach while raising awareness of our vital organization, building community spirit and providing an opportunity for local small businesses and entrepreneurs.”
The event will also include a raffle and 50/50 drawing to benefit the civic association’s community programs.
“We are so excited to enhance the Kenney’s Beach experience,” Vice President Bridget Rymer said. “We look forward to welcoming community members as they cap off their day at the beach or kick off their evening sunset viewing.”
The Kenney’s/McCabe’s Beach Civic Association works to preserve and enhance the residential character and natural environment surrounding Kenney’s and McCabe’s beaches while promoting the interests of the local community.
