EAST QUOGUE — One of East Quogue’s longstanding community traditions returns this month, with the East Quogue Seafood Party scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 19.
Promotional material for the 2026 event says the Seafood & Beer Festival will run from 6 to 10 p.m., with VIP admission beginning at 5:30 p.m.
The evening will feature seafood, beer and live music from Mean Machine, continuing an event that has been associated for years with the East Quogue Fire Department and the local community.
East Quogue’s community website lists the annual EQFD Seafood Party among the hamlet’s recurring events. East Quogue Fire District records also document the event in prior years, including planning and emergency-coverage arrangements surrounding the 2025 Seafood Party.
Tickets and VIP Admission
According to the 2026 event flyer, general admission is $70, with entry beginning at 6 p.m.
VIP tickets are $90 and include early admission at 5:30 p.m., a custom East Quogue Seafood Party beer glass and $20 worth of raffle tickets.
The flyer bills the event as a Seafood & Beer Festival and highlights live music by Mean Machine.
A Longtime East Quogue Tradition
The Seafood Party has been part of East Quogue’s local calendar for years and remains one of the community’s signature annual gatherings.
“The Seafood Party is one of those events that really brings East Quogue together. It’s a great night for the community, and the Ladies Auxiliary is proud to support an event that has become such a strong local tradition,” said Heather Collins, Vice President of the East Quogue Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary.
Official Fire District records from prior years show the department coordinating logistics and emergency coverage for the event, including support from neighboring departments while East Quogue personnel worked the festival.
For 2026, the event returns Saturday, Sept. 19, from 6 to 10 p.m.
