East End Planner: Maritime Festival, Fishing Tournament and More

Also this weekend, a tasting room opens on the North Fork and Amagansett residents search for the biggest clam.

It's late September, and that means one thing on the North Fork: Greenport's Annual Maritime Festival. The fall celebration of the port village's maritime history comes to life starting on Friday and runs through Sunday. But there's no shortage of things going on if the water isn't your thing.
