Kick Off the Summer in the Hamptons, Greek Style: 13th Annual Dr. Nikitas Kessaris Memorial Event
A Greek Taverna Night to Benefit Luv Michael | Saturday, June 6th | Southampton, NY
Summer in the Hamptons is always something special, but this year, we're bringing the warmth and spirit of the Greek islands to Southampton for an unforgettable evening under the stars.
On Saturday, June 6th from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM, Luv Michael invites you to The Muses at 111 St. Andrews Road in Southampton, NY for the 13th Annual Dr. Nikitas Kessaris Memorial Event, a vibrant Greek Taverna Night celebrating community, culture, and a cause that changes lives.
An Evening of Music, Food, and Kefi
Picture this: the sounds of a live orchestra filling the evening air, tables overflowing with authentic mezedes (traditional Greek appetizers), glasses raised with friends old and new, and a dance floor that won't stay empty for long.
This year's celebration features live music by Yianni Papastefanou & Orchestra, bringing the energy and soul of a true Greek taverna to the heart of the Hamptons. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or just want to soak in the atmosphere, this is a night designed to bring people together in the best possible way: with music, mezedes, drinks, and dancing.
Honoring Dr. Nikitas Kessaris
For thirteen years, this event has carried forward the memory and legacy of Dr. Nikitas Kessaris, honoring his spirit through an evening that embodies the Greek values of philoxenia: the love of strangers, the generosity of heart that turns every guest into family. It's a tradition that has only grown stronger with time, and this year promises to be the most memorable yet.
