The Mattapoisett Lions Club is known around the region for its annual Harbor Days festival. This week-long series of events begins on Sunday, July 12 with the triathlon and culminates on Sunday, July 19 with a pancake breakfast, live entertainment and raffle drawings. The Club will sell homemade strawberry shortcake on Wednesday, July 15 (rain or shine) at the town band concert at Shipyard Park. During the weekend of July 17-19, over 100 crafters and artisans will be set up in Shipyard Park (rain or shine) to showcase and sell their wares. They will be open Saturday, July 18 from 9:30 am until 6:00 pm and Sunday, July 19 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Food is a big part of Harbor Days. On Friday, July 17 we will offer a fish fry dinner catered by Hollywood Scoop from 5:30 – 8:00 pm, followed by entertainment from the Dave Charnley Band. Enjoy our Lobsterfest on Saturday evening, July 18 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm all the while relaxing to the Harpoon Harmonizers. Pancakes and sausage will be served on Sunday morning, July 19 from 8:00 to 11:00 am. Luncheon foods will be available under the tent both Saturday and Sunday, and our strawberry shortcake will be available all weekend.
Harbor Days has been the major fundraising event for the Mattapoisett Lions Club for more than 30 years. Proceeds from this event allow the Club to generously support Lions Club sponsored charities and to assist those in need within our community.
