How to Find Upcoming Events in the Hamptons on Dan's Papers
Updated
Dan's Papers lists upcoming Hamptons events in its "Things to Do Around the Hamptons" section, which includes an event calendar you can browse by date. Each listing shows the event time, venue and a short description, and the site also provides an "Add an Event" option for submitting your own listing. This guide covers where each piece lives and what to expect when you use it.
Where the events section lives
The homepage groups content under several headings, including:
- Things to Do Around the Hamptons — the main events hub
- Hamptons Real Estate
- Hamptons News
- Vetted Hamptons Resources
- Hamptons Classified
For event planning, "Things to Do Around the Hamptons" is the section to open first. It sits alongside the news and business stories that make up the rest of the site's coverage.
Browsing the event calendar by date
The calendar is organized chronologically, starting with the nearest date. Listings pulled from the site look like this:
| Date | Time | Event | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tomorrow | 10 am | "Creative Visions" Exhibition by East End Photographers Group | John Jermain Memorial Library |
| Tomorrow | 10:30 am | Memoir Writing Workshop with Barbara Burke | Hampton Library |
| Tomorrow | 11 am | Open Hours of "The Disappearance of Landscape: Oakleyville" | The Watermill Center |
| Tomorrow | 5 pm | A New Beginning: The HUB x Art Hampton Month-Long Multi-Artist Exhibition | The HUB Bridgehampton |
| Tomorrow | 5:30 pm | "A New Era of Care" – Introducing Stony Brook Southampton Hospital's Chief Medical Officer, Richard Stumacher, MD, MBA | Westhampton Free Library |
| Oct 10, noon | — | 8th Annual Chowdah Chowdown benefitting Springs Food Pantry | Springs Tavern and Grill |
Two patterns are worth noting:
- Same-day clustering. Multiple events can share a date but differ by start time, so scan the whole day rather than stopping at the first entry.
- Recurring and long-running formats. Some entries are one-off talks or benefits, while others — such as a "Month-Long Multi-Artist Exhibition" or "Open Hours" — run across a span of days. Check the description to see whether an event is a single session or an ongoing installation.
Reading an event listing
Each calendar entry gives you the minimum needed to decide whether to go: the time, the venue, and a short title that usually names the host or organizer. Venues range from local libraries (John Jermain Memorial, Hampton, Westhampton Free) to cultural spaces (The Watermill Center, The HUB Bridgehampton) to restaurants hosting fundraisers (Springs Tavern and Grill).
If the title alone isn't enough — for example, a benefit dinner or a workshop with limited context — open the full listing for the description before committing.
Submitting your own event
The section includes an Add an Event link next to the calendar. Use it if you're organizing something in the Hamptons and want it listed. You'll need the basic details the calendar displays: date, start time, event name, and location.
Beyond the calendar
The same page surfaces Hamptons news and business items that often connect to events — for instance, a store opening announcement or a nonprofit's anniversary benefit. If you're planning around a specific venue or organization, checking the news headings alongside the calendar can surface things the calendar alone doesn't show.
