Calling all TV and film buffs! If you’ve ever dreamt of rubbing elbows with Hollywood talent without leaving the East Coast, KDHamptons has the perfect event for you to kickstart your summer with. The North Fork TV Festival is back and this year, it’s celebrating its 10th anniversary in style.

Happening June 17th and 18th, this local gem has grown into a must-attend event for creators, industry insiders, and fans alike. Think premiere screenings, buzzy panels, and networking that might just lead to your next big break…or at least a great selfie.

Founded by North Fork locals Noah Doyle and Jonathan Shafter, the festival was born from a love of storytelling and community. Since then, it’s attracted over 4,000 attendees, racked up 60 million media impressions, and hosted stars like Kelsey Grammer, Marcia Gay Harden, Constance Wu, and Chris Noth.

So grab your popcorn (or rosé) and head to the North Fork on June 17th. Whether you’re a die-hard creator or just in it for the red carpet vibes, this festival is one to binge on. See you there!

While in the area, be sure to stop by KDHampton’s favorite treasure trove, Lumber and Salt. This one-of-a-kind FARMERCHANTILE experience blends the charm of a vintage market with the soul of an art gallery. Picture antique furniture, reimagined relics, repurposed lighting, and industrial finds, all paired with organic juices, fresh local produce, baked goods, and even gourmet pastas. Lumber and Salt is a perfectly curated mash-up of old and new, where every corner tells a story and every item is infused with character. Don’t be surprised if you leave with a vintage lamp and a loaf of sourdough. Watch from Lumber and Salt’s recent Instagram reel HERE.
