OHS’s 2026 Summer Benefit

August 1st.  The OHS Summer Benefit & Auction returns to one of the East End’s most beautiful settings—Poquatuck Park, overlooking Orient Harbor at sunset. Enjoy elegant appetizers (including oysters on the half-shell!), cocktails and wines, and live music with family, friends, and neighbors while bidding on one-of-a-kind experiences.

Please note a change in this year’s Summer Benefit program: rather than including local artists’ work in our silent auction, OHS is instead expanding our North Fork Art & Artists Sale & Exhibition this coming October. We believe it’s a far better platform for the artists and their work. But don’t worry—the silent auction on August 1st will still feature dozens of unique experiences and one-of-a-kind objects to bid on!

Proceeds from the Summer Benefit & Auction are a critical component of OHS’s annual operating budget. Your generous support helps OHS fulfill its mission of bringing people together to share and celebrate the unique history and culture of Orient and East Marion. Thank you!

Saturday, August 1st, 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Poquatuck Park, Village Lane, Orient

Note: If you’re not arriving on foot, all attendees are asked to park at one of two available locations: the Methodist Church (1395 Village Ln – enter on Orchard St) or at Vail House (the OHS office, 345 Fletcher St).

OHS’s 2026 Summer Benefit & Auction is made possible in part through the generous support of the following sponsors.

We extend our sincere gratitude for their support and their dedication to the local community.
