The Jamesport Fire Department held its 71st annual Firemen’s Parade on Wednesday, July 15, 2026. Fire and EMS agencies from across Long Island joined Riverhead School District students, local sports leagues and non-profits and a sea of tractors driven by local farmers for this annual tradition, which fittingly took place under smoky skies due to wildfires in Canada.

The North Sea Fire Department, which each year caps off the parade with a burning float, went all out for America’s 250th birthday with a reenactment of the Boston Tea Party.
