Yarmouth Seaside Festival

Three days of live music, carnival rides, and community spirit on Cape Cod's coast this Columbus Day weekend.

Columbus Day Weekend on Cape Cod

The Yarmouth Seaside Festival brings three days of family-friendly celebration to Joshua Sears Memorial Field (1175 Route 28 & Wood Rd. South Yarmouth) each Columbus Day weekend. Live music, an Arts and Crafts Fair, rides and games, animal shows, food vendors, pie-eating contests, sand sculpture contests, a 5k road race, canoe & kayak races, carnival attractions, a beach bonfire and fireworks create the kind of community gathering that defines Cape Cod autumn.

When the sun sets, the festival comes alive

As day fades to dusk, families gather on the sand for the beach bonfire—a moment when the festival slows down and the community draws close. The fire crackles, the stars emerge, and then the sky ignites. The fireworks display lights up the darkness over Cape Cod, a finale that brings everyone together under the same brilliant burst of light. It's the kind of evening that stays with you long after the last spark falls.
