On Saturday at 7 p.m., hundreds are expected to gather for the 7th annual leg lamp lighting ceremony at Northport Hardware. In what has become Northport's own unique way of ushering in the official start of the holiday season, the fish-netted gam will be lit in the store's front window in homage to the 1983 movie, "A Christmas Story."

Mayor George Doll, the Northport High School Tigerettes, and the infamous pink bunny suit will all make appearances on Saturday in what is sure to be a great time!

Huntington will also hold its annual Holiday Parade and Street Festival Saturday at 7 p.m. featuring Long Island’s biggest electric light holiday parade and float contest. Read details here.
