Summer on Cape Cod is here, and we don’t plan to waste a second of it!
Many love Cape Cod for its year-round livability, but summer is really where most consider it at its prime. Between spending days at the beach, exploring nature, and indulging in coastal cuisine, there’s a perfect piece of Cape Cod for everyone.
Below are some annual and exciting events you might want to plan your schedule around.
Sporting Events
Cape Cod Baseball League Opening Day
Baseball season on the Cape kicks off on Saturday, June 13th!
With so many distinct neighborhoods, baseball season is a big deal on Cape Cod. Friendly competition between 10 towns brings together spectators and fans from Brewster, Bourne, Chatham, Cotuit, Harwich, Falmouth, Orleans, Hyannis, Yarmouth, and Wareham.
It’s one of the nation's premier collegiate summer leagues, with many players moving on to play in the major leagues!

Summer is all about BBQs, frozen treats, and plenty of fresh produce. Cape Cod offers a variety of local Farmers’ Markets that far outshine anything you can get from the grocery store – any day of the week! Check out some of these markets this summer around the Cape:
