All in a Weekend: A Round-Up of Events on the Forks
It wouldn’t be the Fourth of July without a whole bunch of celebrations, but a few have been rescheduled this weekend due to the lousy weather expected today. The Beacon’s full guide to parades, carnivals and fireworks displays is online here.

Anniversary Antiques on the Green
The Cutchogue-New Suffolk Historical Council is celebrating its 50th Annual Antiques Show & Sale Sat., July 5 on the Cutchogue Village Green, with entertainment and specialty foods of the North Fork. More than 30 antique dealers will return with a wide variety of quality merchandise, including vintage and collectible jewelry, decorative and household accessories, fine art, furniture and more. There will be live music, costumed tours of The Old House, photo ops in the Ford model TT pick-up truck, the Bungalow Bar ice cream truck, and pony rides for the kids.
New this year is a special “foodie” section, with home-grown and home-made products ranging from goat cheese to granola, pickles to potato chips, and mushrooms to mustard sauce. The fair runs from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Alan Furst at Canio’s
Spy novelist Alan Furst will read from his latest novel, “Midnight in Europe,” at Canio’s Books in Sag Harbor on Saturday at 5 p.m.
Mr. Furst’s work has been praised for his historical accuracy and evocation of place. “Midnight in Europe” is set in Paris, 1938. Cristián Ferrar, a brilliant and handsome Spanish émigré, is a lawyer in the Paris office of a prestigious international law firm. He is approached by the embassy of the Spanish Republic and asked to help a clandestine agency trying desperately to supply weapons to the Republic’s beleaguered army—an effort that puts his life at risk in the battle against fascism.
A Hard Day’s Night at the PAC
The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center is hosting two screenings of The Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night, the classic film that captured the moment when the Fab Four officially became the singular, irreverent idols of their generation. The inventive, black-and-white film features the classic numbers “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “I Should Have Known Better,” and “If I Fell,” as well as Paul’s grandfather, who is a very clean old man. Showtimes are at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on July 5. More information is online here.
