Local businesses, farmers team up tonight for ‘First Fridays on Love Lane’

It’s the perfect summer night to enjoy the best of what Love Lane has to offer, as businesses present “First Friday on Love Lane” tonight from 6 to 9 p.m.

Guests are invited to “stroll, taste, sip” as they enjoy the event, a collaboration between all the businesses on Love Lane and local North Fork purveyors.

Love Lane merchants are staying open until 9 p.m. for First Fridays this summer and possibly into the fall, with merchants pairing up with local farmers to present $3 bites and $5 sips. Free live music will be presented by John Sparling and Mark Anderson.

Participants include the Village Cheese Shop, Roanoke Vineyards, Love Lane Kitchen, Bauer’s, Lombardi’s Love Lane Market, Altman’s Needle & Fiber Arts, Love Lane Sweet Shop, Mattituck Florist, Browders Birds, Oysterponds Shellfish, Sang Lee Farm, cHarissa, East End Mushroom, Mar-Gene Farms, and Backyard Brine Pickle Co.

Tonight, Pike Street businesses will also stay open until 9 p.m., with Love Lane closed off to traffic.

The idea for First Fridays on Love Lane came from Kate Altman, owner of Altman’s Needle & Fiber Arts. When she lived in Catskill, NY, Altman said First Fridays were a “fun, local event that grew and grew” every year, serving as a community meeting place and a highlight of the month for many.

–  Needle and Fiber Arts will be holding a Friday night sock support group and hosting Southampton Soap Company.
– Roanoke Vineyards on Love Lane will be pairing their 2014 Sauvignon Blanc $5 sips with $3 oysters from Race Rock Oysters while Mark Anderson and Some Dudes perform on the back piazza.
