Harwich Port Music Strolls Returns This Summer!

/in , /by

Port Summer Nights—better known to locals as the Harwich Port Free Musical Strolls—turns Main Street into a block-long block party every Wednesday evening in July and August. From 5 to 8 PM, Route 28 comes alive as multiple local bands set up at shops, restaurants, and storefronts along the strip, inviting visitors to wander from one act to the next with an ice cream in hand or a bag of fresh finds from the boutiques. Free, family-friendly, and quintessentially Cape Cod, the strolls capture everything that makes a Harwich Port summer night worth lingering over: good music drifting on the salt air, neighbors catching up on the sidewalk, and the easy rhythm of a town that knows exactly how to celebrate the season.

These cute critters were drawn to the Cold Brook Preserve after the recent completion of the Harwich Conservation Trust’s ambitious eco-restoration. The project restored the free flow of Cold Brook through the Preserve for the first time in over a century, as it heads toward Saquatucket Harbor on Nantucket Sound.
