September Still Solid: Things to Do on Fire Island and Around the Great South Bay This Week

Posted on September 19, 2025
For Mary Gauthier, songwriting goes way beyond conveying her thoughts and emotions. It was also a lifeline when she embraced sobriety back in 1990. Songwriting’s appeal was important enough for Gauthier to swap being an acclaimed chef at a wildly successful Cajun restaurant in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood to head to Nashville in her mid-thirties to pursue a dream of becoming a professional musician. Fast forward to the present day, and the 63-year-old singer-songwriter is touring with partner Jaimee Harris and not only celebrating the 25-year-plus anniversary of Gauthier’s 1999 sophomore bow, Drag Queens in Limousines, but also giving love to her most recent studio effort, 2022’s Dark Enough to See the Stars. Her love of compositional craft will be on full display when she and Harris roll into Bayport on September 26.

  • An island escape in the heart of Patchogue has sailed the sea of change as Rooted Hospitality Group rebranded RHUM as RUMBA Island Inspired Cuisine & Rum Bar.  The new vision aligns with the original Rumba concept opened in 2010 in Hampton Bays—a tropical culinary destination featuring vibrant cocktails, fresh cuisine, and breezy vibes.

  • Town of Islip's Annual SeaFest was held at Bay Shore Marina, which was an ideal setting for Great South Bay area favorite, now in its seventh year. Festival attendees of all ages enjoyed food trucks, craft beer, pony rides, a petting zoo, beach games, and fun on the stunning Great South Bay, along with dozens of vendors selling handcrafted items and gifts. Live music from guest band J Haus kept the celebration lively, and visitors could dance the whole day without worries, as the Town offered free parking and admission.

  • Everybody loves a feel-good success story about a local business. Along the Great South Bay of Long Island, that reigns even more true.
