The Week the Season Starts Handing Over

The Week the Season Starts Handing Over

The Week on the Lower Cape, August 20–26, 2026: a 48th Carnival parade shutting Commercial Street on a Thursday afternoon, dozens of catboats coming out of Arey's Pond on Saturday, two annual meetings a town apart, the last Port Summer Nights of the year, and an eighth-grade orientation at noon on Monday that tells you more than any of it.

The Week the Cape Explains Itself to Itself

The Week the Cape Explains Itself to Itself

The Week on the Lower Cape, August 13–19, 2026: a 55th festival under tents in Chase Park, a 1610 Vespers in a town of six thousand, the man who wrote the Pendleton rescue standing in the theater that screens it, two churches selling the same lobster roll on the same Friday, and a parade starting to build twenty-eight miles out.
