The fun, family event features a variety of chowders, a full BBQ lunch, kids' activities, live music, raffle prizes, and 50 varieties of colorful perennials for sale. All proceeds go toward the continuing revitalization of the historic New Suffolk waterfront property, site of the first submarine base in the United States.
According to New Suffolk Waterfront Fund chair Patty Lowry, this year's delicious chowder will be prepared by Grace & Grit Catering's executive chef Adam Kaufer and include a Long Island fish chowder "hybrid" that combines Boston influences — a creamy soup with a tomato and clam base.
