Question 1

How does it all work?

Accepted Answer

After you have made a booking request and we confirm your bonfire in our schedule, all you need to do is show up and enjoy! We will set up the bonfire before you arrive and take care of breaking it down once the event is over. To ensure everything goes smoothly, we will be in touch closer to the date to reconfirm all the details. Our goal is to let you focus on having a great time while we manage the logistics.

Question 2

How long can my bonfire last?

Accepted Answer

To comply with local ordinances, beach fires may not be started before 6:00 PM and all fires must be fully extinguished by 12:00 AM (midnight).

Question 3

Where can I have my bonfire?

Accepted Answer

Proudly run by two local childhood friends, Hamptons Bonfire Company currently focuses its operations within East Hampton. This focus is due to two main logistical reasons: the need to travel between bonfires within 30 minutes (difficult between Napeague and Southampton) and the challenges non-residents face when obtaining bonfire permits in Southampton Town.

Question 4

Do I need a permit for a fire on the beach?

Accepted Answer

Only an event that is professionally catered (regardless of number of people attending) requires a permit.

Question 5

Are you open year-round?

Accepted Answer

Our primary season of operation typically runs from Memorial Day weekend through the end of September.
However, we understand that you might be interested in organizing an event or require our services outside of this core period. If that's the case, please do reach out to us directly. We always aim to be flexible and will do our very best to see if we can accommodate your needs. We're happy to discuss possibilities!

Question 6

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

We accept cash or venmo when you arrive at the bonfire.
