Nichole’s Picks 8/8 and 8/9

It is a big weekend in Rockport!  This would be a fantastic weekend to take a day trip (or better yet hurry up and make a reservation to stay overnight) to enjoy some of the exciting events the town has planned! Or, if you are a resident, hurry up and invite some friends into town to celebrate with you!

Pick #1   Rockport’s 3rd Annual Fireworks Display

Please head HERE to read more as well as to see the schedule of other events in town this weekend…and all of my other “Picks”!

As dusk descends on Rockport, settle in at Back Beach and the American Legion Bandstand to watch the third annual summertime fireworks display over Sandy Bay. The fireworks display will follow the Rockport Rotary Club’s Lobsterfest, a unique annual outdoor dining and fundraising event at the Legion Bandstand, serving boiled lobster, clam chowder and more from Noon to 7:00 pm.

Here is some video of last year’s display

Pick #2  Rockport Rotary Lobsterfest

Since you are going to be in town for the fireworks anyway, go ahead and enjoy this excellent opportunity.  Lobster and Live Music!

Pick #3  Rockport at Night: First Friday

To kick the weekend off hit the shops and galleries enjoying some food and drinks as you relax, window shop, and find those “just perfect” purchases!
