The Northport Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Music Director Eric Mahl, is pleased to present the first concert of its 2025-2026 season, featuring Ludwig van Beethoven’s groundbreaking “Symphony No. 3,” the “Eroica.” It is one of Beethoven’s seminal works, challenging the traditions of the Classical era and establishing the foundation for the Romantic era. The program also includes the “Overture to The Marriage of Figaro” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and “Symphony No. 7” by Jean Sibelius. Ticket price is $15 at the door.

Final Farmers’ Market of the Season

Last call! The Northport Farmers’ Market is back for its 15th year, bringing fresh, locally grown produce and artisan goods to the heart of Northport Village. Held every Saturday from 8am to 12:30pm through November 22, the market runs rain or shine in the small parking lot at the end of Main Street, next to Cow Harbor Park.

Santaport

Get into the holiday spirit at Santaport, a cherished Centerport holiday tradition. New to the “boutique” treasures event is a Christmas Market, inspired by holiday street fairs, which will feature festive handcrafted gifts, Christmas decorations, baked goods and more. Bring a camera for pictures with Santa, meet local author Sarah Zagaja and therapy dog, Fenway and enjoy a Kid Zone with holiday crafts and games.

Vanderbilt Tree Lighting and Santa

The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum invites the community to begin the holiday season with its annual Tree Lighting in the Mansion Courtyard. Doors open at 4:30 for the event. Santa Claus, the guest of honor, will visit with children in the Lancaster Room, where they may hand their letters to Santa. Or they can drop their letters in a special Santa Claus mailbox in the Courtyard, and they will be sent directly to the North Pole. The event is free, but registration is required.

Northport Village Storytelling

Expect some good old-fashioned, in-person, human connection via another live storytelling event, right here at home. The theme is busted, as in a busted bone, heart or spirit. Times of being busted flat broke or getting caught breaking a rule – and what happened afterwards. Five storytellers will share their crafted stories; audience members can place their name in a hat should they choose; if called, they’ll have five minutes to tell a personal story based on the theme.
