In 2002, the Suffolk
County Legislature and County Executive declared an annual County holiday,
Suffolk County Lighthouse Day, in honor of the County's distinction of
having more lighthouses than any other US county. This official holiday is
the first Saturday of each Spring. The Suffolk County Parks Department and
the Long Island Chapter of the US Lighthouse Society are presenting the
first Suffolk County Lighthouse Day at Cedar Point County Park in East
Hampton, home of the 1868 Cedar Island lighthouse.
The event will feature
history walks, nature walks, educational activities, kite demonstrations and
lessons, a kayaking demonstration, lighthouse-related vendors, lighthouse
and historical societies (over 50 vendors and exhibitors in all!), WBAB,
WBLI, the Peconic Amateur Radio Club, and more.
