Hello, neighbors! I'm here with the latest issue of the Miller Place-Rocky Point Daily.

First, today's weather:

Breezy in the morning; sunlit. High: 56 Low: 43.

Here are the top three stories today in Miller Place-Rocky Point:

1. The Fourth of July Grucci fireworks display and concert at Bald Hill will be back this year for the first time since before the COVID-19 pandemic. Concerts will run from May 28 to Sept. 17. (Patch)
2. This Saturday the Waterdrinker Tulip Festival will be in bloom with 1 million flowers, twice as many as last year. Waterdrinker Family Farm & Garden is at 663 Wading River Road in Manorville. (Subscription: Newsday)
