Events are starting now!

Father’s Day 2012, kicking off events on the Canal, the Events Committee will host a Family “Cast-off” contest overlooking the Canal and “Car Show” to be held on the grounds of the Upper Cape Regional Voke/Tech Campus, overlooking the Cape Cod Canal. It is hoped this will become an annual event in 2013 and 2014. More events on our Celebration Events page.

Volunteer to help!

Join us in Celebrating the Cape Cod Canal Centennial 2014 by volunteering to help! Opportunities abound over the next two years and with the entire tri-communities [Bourne, Sandwich and Wareham] participation it will be a truly memorable event beginning in June 2012, with our first fundraiser on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 17th. Plan to spend a family day with Dad, Grand Dad and those who want to “Cast Away” at our first Casting Contest, demonstrations and vintage Car Show above the banks of the Cape Cod Canal on the grounds of the Upper Cape Regional Vocational School. A fun event for the entire family. See our Volunteer form here….
