Cape Cod Events
January 2020

A Peaceful Winter Day on Cape Cod

But not to worry! We don't entirely "roll up the streets" around here during the off season.  ;-)

January features a number of special events for Cape Cod locals and visitors to enjoy, both indoors and out.

On New Year's Day, the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra kicks off 2020 with their annual extravaganza in Hyannis.

Later in the month, the Orchid Society brings its festive touch of color to chilly winter days.
 

And all month long, we outdoorsy types can get a much-needed fix of fresh salt air while strolling a deserted beach or joining in on a guided nature exploration.
