Eastham Windmill Weekend Festival 2024
The annual Eastham Windmill Weekend will be held Friday September 6th to Sunday September 8th. Bring the family to this fun Cape Cod Fall event.
For 47 years on the Windmill Green (and other locations around town!), Easthammers have gathered together to celebrate the conclusion of the summer season and to welcome back a slower pace of life. We hope you can join us for this beloved multi-day tradition designed for every member of our community to enjoy.
