June is Bustin' Out all over Outer Cape Cod -- Arts & Craft Shows, Cape Cod Baseball, Strawberry Festivals, Summer Theatre, and Father's Day Fun


Wondering what to do for vacation? Well, check out the June events below and all your questions will be answered. You can enjoy summer theatre, arts and crafts shows, historical tours and Bonnie Snow will take you on an amazing cemetery tour. You will even see where the Harding family has their family plot -- and then you can stay in one of the family home of Henry Harding, right here at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa. Stay at a whaling captain's home and become a part of its history.

Baseball at its best is back and looking forward to a great season. Games for June are listed with time and place so you can plan to see your favorite team or teams. So don't forget to bring the peanuts and Cracker Jack.

Also, Father's Day is not far away. Give Dad a special time away (at the Inn). After a gourmet breakfast at the Inn, he can enjoy the car show in Hyannis, sample Chowdah from area restaurants at the Big Blue Tent in Hyannis, and then end the day with a game of baseball. Orleans will take on Chatham at the Orleans field. We will supply the blanket or beach chairs, and Dad can take a picnic supper to the game. Doesn't get much better. Take advantage of all the fun events that June has to offer -- come back to the Inn for peace and quiet after a hectic day -- and enjoy all that the Cape has to offer.
