Lighthouse Tours and Open Houses on Cape Cod

Cape Cod Maritime Days -- May 2008

For more than 250 years after the first lighthouse was built on Cape Cod, Nantucket & Martha‘s Vineyard, no book had ever been written specifically about the beacons along this shoreline. During that period, more than 40 lighthouse guided mariners through these treacherous waters, and they comprised a concentration of beacons greater than any other in the entire world. These particular lights became not only a symbol for this region, but also a display of our nation’s progress. Study about this important part of your history by reading America's Landfall: The Historic Lighthouses of Cape Cod, Nantucket & Martha's Vineyard by Donald W. Davidson.

Back at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa

Great to be back on Cape Cod. The weather even cooperated with our return. It was clear and 50 degrees, which after being in the 80s, it was a pleasant shock to the system. After unpacking looked at the gardens and the daffodils are really sprouting and some even have buds on them. That is so exciting! Daffodil time is always so pretty on the Cape.

The Town of Brewster will be holding their daffodil festival the weekend of May 2, 3 and 4. There will be many happenings for many different interests. Art galleries, antique and craft shops will have open houses offering special sales and gifts.

For the golfer, the Captain's golf Course will host "closest to the pin" contests all weekend.

The Brewster Band concert will be on Friday at 7:00 PM, and the Bloom Run will be Saturday morning.

The juried fine arts and crafts show will be held Saturday from 10:00 to 5:00. The antiques and collectibles fair will be Saturday and Sunday 8:00 to 4:00.

In the evening, there will be a "Swing into Spring Big Band Dance at Ocean Edge on Saturday from 7:00 to 10:00 PM. So bring your dancing shoes for a great night of dancing.

And what would any festival be on the Cape without a Chowda' Tasting which will be on Saturday from 2:30 to 4:30 PM.

On Sunday there will be live music at Drummer Boy Park starting at noon until 4:00. And another American love and tradition is the parade which will be on Sunday at 1:00 PM. You may even see our grand kids marching.

So make your reservations at the Whalewalk Inn today to join in all the festivities, while enjoying a gourmet breakfast, a special hors d'oeuvre party on Saturday evening, and maybe a spa treatment to make your celebration of the daffodils even more special. So book early, especially if your want a room with a tub to add to the romance of the weekend.
