Celebrate Our Waters Festival 2021 in Orleans MA
Celebrate Our Waters Festival will be held the weekend of Sunday September 18th and Saturday September 19th at various location throughout Orleans. this weekend is to showcase the area’s precious bays, ponds, lakes, marshes, creeks and beaches and thereby increase general awareness and appreciation of our valuable water resources. The event was originally conceived of as simply a few guided walks highlighting Orleans’ ponds and saltwater estuaries but it quickly mushroomed into a two day festival including walks, bike rides, talks, tours, kayak trips, cat boat sailing, aquaculture events, a sand sculpture contest and a bonfire on Nauset Beach.
