Welcome to the September/Fall issue of North Fork Real Estate Showcase. Now that summer is nearing an end, we can look forward to the cool fall days that lie ahead here on the North Fork. To kick off the season, the 29th annual Greenport Maritime Festival returns on September 21-23. The Festival begins on Friday night with the Land and Sea Gala cocktail party. Saturday morning’s parade through downtown Greenport kicks off the festival, followed by grand displays of classic wooden boats, kayak races, demonstrations of high tech water sports, wood carving and model ship building, music, delicious food, high end artisanal vendors, children’s activities, fresh oysters, craft beers and local wines.
