Celebrate Father's Day on Cape Cod -- Fun at the Provincetown International Film Festival, Hyannis Chowdah and Car Show, and Cape Cod League Baseball

June 14th Kevin and I went to the Annual Cape Cod Maritime Museum Festival. We had a great time exploring the tall ships. We saw the Alabama out of Nantucket and the Peacemaker. Did find out that if you were looking for a great week of vacation at the Whalewalk Inn and have children from the ages of 9 to 16, the Alabama offers a week of sleep-aboard sailing. It sounded like a great vacation for the kids, while you were relaxing here and being pampered at the Inn.

This weekend is the Provincetown International Film Festival. There is a cadre of movies for every one's taste. So come on over and enjoy the fun. If Jazz is your preference, the 5th Annual Provincetown Jazz Festival is August 14-16 at the Provincetown Hight School. The 3rd Annual Provincetown Music Festival is September 19th. Make your reservations and come to the Cape for artistic fun.

Looking for something a little more sporty -- rent kayaks for three hours of fun searching the beaches, marshes and more. Or, rent bicycles or bring your own, and take advantage of the Cape Cod Rail Trail, with its many cut-offs to the most beautiful beaches around. Baseball is at its best. Sit on a grassy knoll and enjoy all the fun. Bring your own peanuts and Cracker Jack and root for the home team's success.

Father's Day offers the Hyannis Main Street Car Show. View over 400 cars. Along with the car show is the annual WCOD Chowdah Fest. Sample chowder from many area restaurants. This event is at the Cape Cod Melody Tent at a cost of $10 per adult.

Some take some time from your busy schedule and join us at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa for relaxation and enjoy all that the Cape has to offer.
