Hamptons Fireworks Are Back in 2025
Nothing says summer in the Hamptons quite like a perfect fireworks show by the water. Whether you’re hosting a beach picnic or catching the sparkle from a dockside dinner, these are the can’t-miss fireworks displays lighting up the East End this July.
Here’s your 2025 guide to the best fireworks shows in the Hamptons—with all the local tips you won’t find on Google.
🎇 Montauk: Stars Over Montauk
Date: Friday, July 4 at 9 PM
Location: Umbrella Beach, Montauk
Produced by: Fireworks by Grucci
This iconic Fourth of July fireworks display in Montauk is one of the biggest—and busiest—events of the summer. Bring your beach chairs early to grab a spot, or book a fireworks cruise out of Montauk Harbor for a more relaxed view from the water.
🎆 Sag Harbor Yacht Club Fireworks
Date: Saturday, July 5 at 9:30 PM
Location: Sag Harbor Bay
Pro Tip: Tune into WLNG 92.1 FM for the official soundtrack
This classic Sag Harbor tradition lights up the bay with a family-friendly vibe and unbeatable views from Long Wharf or Marine Park. Parking fills up fast, so make an evening of it and walk into town for ice cream or dinner before the show.
🌊 East Hampton: Clamshell Foundation Fireworks
Date: Saturday, July 12 at 9 PM (Rain Date: July 13)
Location: Three Mile Harbor, East Hampton
A favorite with East Hampton locals, this show supports the nonprofit Clamshell Foundation. We love watching from Maidstone Park—and if you’re feeling fancy, grab a sunset dinner at SiSi or Bostwick’s on the Harbor.
🛥 Shelter Island: Crescent Beach Fireworks
• Date: Saturday, July 12 at 9 PM (Rain Date: July 13)
• Location: Sunset Beach, Shelter Island
Pack a picnic and hop on the ferry—this is one of the most low-key, magical shows on the East End. Crescent Beach is the perfect setting for a barefoot night under the stars.
