The Best Hamptons Events Calendar for July 2025: Events, Parties, and More Out East
Whether the Hamptons is your summer base or just a weekend escape, the social calendar is stacked in July 2025. Between cabaret legends, Ferrari-filled fields, and garden soirées with champagne and sculpture, only a few events truly dazzle. Dive in.
About The Interior Review Hamptons Events Calendar
We take the Hamptons at their most traditional, discreet, and convivial. We believe that helicopters, nightclubs, and bottle service have no place in the Hamptons. We don’t complain about a lack of cell phone service or Uber.
Finally, and most controversially, we do not consider Montauk to be culturally aligned with the principal Hamptons towns. Therefore, you will not find events taking place in Montauk in this list.

Polo Hamptons 2025
What is it: In many ways, Polo Hamptons is the essence of the Hamptons lifestyle: afternoons spent in the backyard of someone’s mansion with an incredibly chic crowd observing a very niche sport. Something of an IYKYK situation, Polo Hamptons has become a signature afternoon activity in the tony town of Bridgehampton. As a refresher (or introduction), polo is a sport played on horseback. In a match, teams compete to score goals by hitting a ball into the opposing team's goal using mallets. This sport has a big following in Argentina as well as— as it happens— The Hamptons. For only two weekends in July, Polo Hamptons combines the elegance of polo with a low-key, high-style cocktail party in the sunny fields of Bridgehampton.
Why go: With Yamin Schmidt, Cynthia Bailey, Bethenny Frankel, and Kelly Ripa counted among past attendees, the Polo Hamptons weekends are certainly a scene, but the atmosphere is more relaxing than high-strung, giving a taste of a less intense Hamptons experience. Its also taken on a life of its own as a singularly must-attend event.
What's involved: Thrilling polo matches, food, and an open bar.
Town: Bridgehampton
Two separate match dates, both taking place at 900 Lumber Lane, Bridgehampton, New York.
Saturday, July 19th, 2025 from 4pm until 7:30pm. Information and tickets here.
Saturday, July 26th, 2025 from 4pm until 7:30pm. Information and tickets here.

An invitation-only afternoon curated for the glamorati, the event showcases cutting-edge fashion, skincare, decor, and more—all in support of cancer research honoring Bobby Zarin. Guests stroll a red carpet into a branded wonderland of unique products, fine food, and one extravagant gift bag.
Why go: Expect Bravo-lebrities and reality stars galore like Teresa Giudice, Luan de Lesseps, Phaedra Parks, Cynthia Bailey, and more. Plus, you’ll enjoy on-site treatments by Dolce Aesthetics, luxury giveaways, wine from Avaline, and next-level snacks.
