Bonac traditionally refers to an area called Springs (located in East Hampton, NY). Many of the original Bonac families in Springs were among the very early settlers of the town, having come from England, possibly Kent or Dorchester, Dorset, in the 1600s and 1700s. Bonackers made their living as baymen, fishermen, and farmers. Clams and clamming, both hard shell and soft shell, were at the heart of Bonac culture and cuisine
Started by George Plimpton and Tony Duke, the Clamshell Foundation began hosting the night 4 years ago. The Displays start at 9:20PM over 3 Mile Harbor in East Hampton.
