Annual Independence Day Fireworks
Dear Residents and Property Owners,
On Thursday, July 4, Fireworks by Grucci will launch our annual fireworks celebration from a barge off the sound side beach. The display will begin at approximately 9:15 pm. The rain date is scheduled for Friday, July 5. If you live on the sound side, consider inviting your bayside neighbors over to enjoy the show.
Please remember there is no parking on any Village street
and there are no public parking facilities in Asharoken. Please make sure you and your
guests park only on your private property. Due to excessive traffic congestion, for everyone's
safety, all traffic and parking laws will be strictly enforced.
As always, our police department will be patrolling the beach and personal fireworks are strictly forbidden.
On July 4, high tide will be approximately 11:07am and low tide 5:08pm. Please keep this in mind when setting up your bonfire or beach fire. Use extreme caution and common sense and consider everyone's safety before lighting your fire:
Do not light bonfires prior to 8:00pm on July 4.
If adverse wind conditions necessitate cancelling bonfires, the police will notify you by sounding three air horn blasts at 8:00pm as they patrol Asharoken Avenue.
Thank you and enjoy our wonderful tradition. Happy Fourth of July!
Mayor Greg Letica, Deputy Mayor Pam Pierce, Trustee Melvin Ettinger, Trustee Laura Burke and Trustee Ian Jablonski

Dear Neighbors:
Well summer has arrived right on cue and the 4th of July is less than two weeks away. The annual Fireworks by Grucci display is scheduled to begin at 9:15 PM. The rain date is Friday July 5th. If you live on the Long Island Sound side of Asharoken Avenue please consider inviting your bayside neighbors over to watch the display.
The Village tradition of bonfires can only continue if everyone uses extreme caution and common sense.
Everyone is required to comply with the Village Code Chapter 70-4 on fire protection when they construct fires on the beach:
Out of an abundance of caution the Village will permit only beach fires (not bonfires) between 100-200 Asharoken Avenue.
Lastly, personal fireworks are not allowed.
I thank everyone in advance for their understanding and cooperation.
Wishing you a great weekend!
Mayor Greg Letica

Dear Neighbors,
I wish all dads and granddads a terrific Father's Day. Enjoy your special day!
The Village has a kayak rack at Village Hall. If you live upland in the Village and would like to have access to Northport Bay, for a $25 registration fee you can leave your kayak there. Stop in at Village Hall to fill out the application and pick up a sticker. The permit application is available here on the website: click "Government" then "Permits & Applications", or click here:
Please remember that the Village code requires that garbage should be brought to the curb on the day of pickup only. Garbage sitting overnight on the side of the road is a magnet for animals who make a mess. It looks very unsightly as well.

Wild Turkey Spotted in Asharoken
As a reminder, if you are doing construction, putting up a fence, taking down trees, or putting up a tent, among other things, you may need a Village permit. Before you start, please call the Village Clerk Michelle Glennon at 631-261-7098 to get the permitting process started. You can never go wrong by asking first. Thanks for your cooperation.
A few weeks ago, the Village photographer Dee Lento snapped a picture of a wild turkey on Bevin Road. This is not the first time a turkey has been seen in Asharoken but they are very rare. I can report that I have found 93 species of birds in the Village since January 1st of this year!
Have a great weekend!
Mayor Dr. Gregory Letica
