It is our goal to join forces with our fellow non-profits and organizations that have the common goal of enriching, educating and recognizing the rich cultural heritage and history of our village. The second Annual Port Jefferson Heritage Weekend will be held on Saturday, August 20^th and 21st from 12pm to 5pm at over a dozen locations throughout the Village.   Visitors will be invited to step back in time and discover the stories behind many of the historical venues in Port Jefferson and Belle Telle.  Each location will host presentations, historic photo displays and activities that celebrate the culture, traditions, history and achievements of Port Jefferson. Visitors can travel from site to site and discover the rich heritage of the coastal community.

The festivities include a 120 year old tall ship to celebrate our shipbuilding heritage, recreation of the historic and beloved GRAMMAS’ SWEETS in a “Pop Up” exhibit on Main Street, Eckford BBC vintage baseball team exhibition game played as per the rules used in 1864, Hot air Balloon education and demonstration, Model A Ford Club showcasing dozens of antique cars,  Historical Geocache Hunt presented by the PJ Free Library, Appraisal Day with the PJ Historical Society and SO much more!
