Celebration of Life for Ted Conklin Today at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor + Livestream

Originally planned for two Sag Harbor locations, the service will now be held entirely at Bay Street Theater at 1:30 p.m.

The Celebration of Life for Ted Conklin, longtime owner of The American Hotel, who died Feb. 1, 2026, will take place today, Feb. 24, at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor at 1:30 p.m.

The memorial had originally been scheduled to begin at the Whalers Church before moving to Bay Street Theater. Organizers have since announced that the full service will now be held exclusively at Bay Street Theater.

Guests are advised to go directly to Bay Street Theater and not to the Whalers Church.

“Holding the full service in one location will allow everyone to park once and remain together comfortably,” said organizers.

“We are honored to open our doors as the community gathers to remember Ted and the lasting impact he made on all of us.”

For those unable to attend in person, the service will be livestreamed on YouTube:
