MONTAUK
Lighting the Lighthouse
Once the weather gets nippy, you need a special reason to venture to the end of Montauk. How about thousands of twinkling white lights set against an ocean backdrop, with holiday music playing, carols and a visit from the big guy in red himself? There will also be a special guest to flip the switch.
Montauk Point, Saturday, Nov. 29 , 4:30 to 7pm, montauklighthouse.com
