Hamptons Mid-August Culinary Events: Amber Waves Hoedown, MTK for Maui, Foul Witch Pop-Up & More

The dog days are officially here, but our summer tomatoes (still a bit green) tell us there’s plenty of season left. And there’s no shortage of late-August events unfolding across the Hamptons, including a hoedown in Amagansett, more NYC restos popping up, and a fundraiser for the victims of Maui’s fire catastrophe.

Here are a few notable calendar events on the horizon as August draws to a close.

Amber Waves Hoedown Fundraiser
367 Main Street Amagansett

The popular not-for-profit farm on Route 27 in Amagansett — celebrating its 15th anniversary this year — is throwing a summer fundraising hoedown this Friday on the farm starting at 5:30 p.m. Last year, Amber Waves donated almost 50,000 pounds of produce to food pantries across the South Fork. Funds also go to supporting the farm’s apprenticeship program, children’s education programs, and other programs benefitting community enrichment. Friday’s hoedown will include live country music, an auction, and plenty of food, beverage, and fun on the farm. Visit amberwavesfarm.networkforgood.com for tickets.
