Northport Leg Lamp Lighting
NOVEMBER 29, 2025 at 6:30pm

Together, We Light Up Northport! It takes a village to keep this decades-old tradition alive. Thanks for being part of it!

A CELEBRATION OF
LOCAL ART AND ARTISTS

Twenty years ago, the Mayor of Northport was visiting the proprietors of The Northport Hardware Company. Together, they stumbled upon an old gag gift. Laughing, they stuck it in the front window, and gave it an honorary salute.

From that quirky moment, the Northport Leg Lamp Lighting has grown to become a beloved community celebration of local talent, small-town charm, and our village’s unique ability to unite over something delightfully whimsical to create something truly spectacular.

The event is freely offered by local performing artists and made possible by the Village and folks who love it. We hope you will support the Island Harvest essentials drive! 

IT TAKES A VILLAGE

We are grateful for all who come together to make this remarkable night possible. It’s really very special!

Sponsors receive VIP treatment that adds to the fun of the event. We also provide meaningful marketing opportunities through our social media, offering our front window to showcase of local merchants, and the Shop Local Northport Leg Lamp guide. as well as another version that we share all year long.

Thank you for your kind consideration. We hope you will consider being a part of this. Thank you for all you do to make Northport the wonderful place that it is!

AN ORGANICALLY GROWN, SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY EVENT
In 2022, as new residents of that iconic 90 Main St. building people still refer to as “The Old Hardware Store,” we of The Firefly were passed this very special torch. It is now our great honor to host this event, working with our neighbors to light that lamp and the holiday traditions that have sprung up around it.
 
 
We now set the stage in early November, filling our windows with raffle prizes donated by local merchants and Fireflies. We can’t wait to see The Northport Tigerettes put their best legs forward here as they have now for over 15 years, and for The Posey School of Dance to sample its beautiful annual production of The Nutcracker Suite.
 

The Northport Shipwreck Diner will offer Hot Cocoa, The Mayor provides the Leg. Pretty much the whole darned town kicks in something.

The Community Playhouse of Northport then lights it all up in a glorious grand finale. After, we invite you in for a reception featuring live music from The Drama Kings and warmly encourage you to see who else is staying open late, ready with perfect gifts for you.
