There’s a quiet kind of magic that happens in the Hamptons each fall — when the fields turn golden, the pace slows, and the community gathers not for glitz, but for gratitude.
One of the most meaningful local rituals of the season is the Lantern Walk at Amber Waves in Amagansett — a heartfelt evening that celebrates the close of another abundant harvest.
Every November, as the farm prepares to rest for winter, families and friends come together at Amber Waves for this special event.
Participants make their own lanterns using simple craft kits, then join a guided walk through the fields at dusk — hundreds of soft lights glowing against the twilight sky.
It’s not just beautiful — it’s symbolic. The Lantern Walk is a way of saying thank you — to the land, to the farmers, and to the growing season that sustains us all. It’s a pause before winter, a way to collectively “put the farm to sleep” until spring.
The Spirit of the Season:
If you’ve ever visited Amber Waves, you already know it’s more than a farm — it’s the heartbeat of the community. From fresh bread and heirloom tomatoes to their summer pizza nights, the team gives endlessly to the East End. The Lantern Walk is their way of inviting everyone to slow down and give back a little love in return.
Whether you bring your kids or just come to soak in the quiet beauty of it all, it’s one of those experiences that reminds you why life out here feels so special.
