Southampton - Spring Fling, the Parrish Art Museum's annual community party and fund raiser, will take place on Saturday, April 17, from 7:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. This year's celebration will feature a live band by Todd Barrie Music, delectable hors d'oeuvres from Sant Ambroeus, specialty drinks, fine wines, and artisanal ales from an open bar, and a silent auction of luxury items, including designer accessories and a fine selection of merchandise and services from the Hamptons community.
