Sag Harbor Song Festival 2026: plan the concert weekend.
This intimate vocal festival brings rising operatic artists to The Church for three programs across one September weekend. With evening concerts on Friday and Saturday and a midday finale on Sunday, the schedule can pair naturally with time in the village.
The Short Answer
The essentials
The fifth Sag Harbor Song Festival runs Friday, September 18 through Sunday, September 20, 2026, at The Church, 48 Madison Street in Sag Harbor. Friday and Saturday concerts run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.; Sunday is noon to 2 p.m. Individual concerts are $75, and the three-concert Festival Pass is $200. Tickets are on sale.
What the festival is
The festival began in 2022 in collaboration with The Church in Sag Harbor. It is built around a small group of rising opera singers and a broad repertoire that has included opera, operetta, lieder, song, and musical theatre.
Past editions have sold out, according to the organizer. Use the current festival and venue pages for tickets rather than relying on a prior year's program.
Choose one concert or the full weekend
Friday and Saturday are evening performances from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sunday's program runs from noon to 2 p.m. All three take place at The Church, so the main choice is whether one program or the complete weekend fits the stay.
Individual concerts are $75 and the three-concert pass is $200. Put the fixed performance on the calendar first, then arrange dinner, parking, and daytime plans around it.
Keep village logistics simple
The Church is at 48 Madison Street. Park once when practical, allow time to walk, and avoid stacking a dinner reservation directly against a performance start.
September evenings can feel different from midday near the water. Carry a light layer and choose footwear that works for village sidewalks and a walk back after the performance.
Keep the daytime itinerary flexible
A music weekend does not need an overfilled itinerary. Leave room for the waterfront, local shops, a long lunch, or a nearby beach around the published performance times.
If the group is sharing a house, confirm which guests want a beach day before choosing chair and shade quantities. Not everyone attending an evening performance will follow the same daytime plan.
Prepare the house before the weekend
A short festival stay becomes easier when bulky beach items are already at the property. Select only what the group is likely to use and keep everything together in a dry pickup location.
Hamptons Beach Co coordinates delivery and pickup at the house. We do not deliver to festival venues or directly onto the beach.
