Christmas in July on Cape Cod

Last year Forever Plaid was at the Cape Playhouse in Dennis. This year the cast returns for their rendition of Plaid Tidings. Four 50 style singers come down form Heaven to fulfill their dream of performing a holiday show. Perry Como even has them on his show, and of course, no holiday show dream is complete without being on the Ed Sullivan Show. This show will certainly bring you to your feet in appreciative applause.

Playing Monday through Saturday at 8 p.m through July 17th. Matinee times and dates also available.

There are many other shows about the Cape, where summer stock first got its start. So check on line for what is playing at W.H.A.T., Academy Playhouse in Orleans, The Harwich Junior Theatre, Cape Playhouse, different venues in Provincetown and more.

Only have one night to stay on the Cape -- call us and see if we have any one-nights between two existing reservations. We will even give you a 15% discount on that one night. Call today and see what we have.

Cape Cod National Seashore Statistics

When you call the Whalewalk Inn & Spa and you ask about beaches, we will tell you that you are a 10 minute drive to the Cape Cod National Seashore Visitor's Center. They will give you directions, maps and general information on what the Seashore has to offer. Here are the highlights: Six beaches, 11 self-guided nature trails, nine lighthouses, picnic area and daily activities. Most things are free which makes for a great day at the Cape. We have a great daily paper, Cape Cod Day, which you can pick up on arrival to help you plan your daily activities.

After a long day of exploring and a great dinner, make plans for a night at the theatre or one of the outdoor concerts that dot the Cape. The Melody Tent tomorrow will have Abba the Music and Melissa Etheridge will be there on Friday. The Beach Boys will be coming in August -- Surfin' USA.

One other site that you may want to visit is the restored Blacksmith Shop in Brewster on the Drummer Boy Property -- Thursdays through Saturdays 1 to 4. Here you can learn how tools were made in the second half of the 18th century. What I found amazing was that the forge, the structure that holds the fire, is made of wood. Most that you see today are stone or brick. It is rare to see a wood one that has survived all this time.

We still have three rooms for the weekend, so come on down, cool off in our beautiful ocean, and enjoy the history, arts, theatre, and music that abounds on Cape Cod. Call us today at 508-255-0617. Or, you can book online. Remember if there is a one night between two existing reservations, we offer a 15% discount for that one night.

Summer theatre has been great. Just went to see Noises Off at the W.H.A.T. and it was delightful. Had dinner at Winslow's Tavern before the play and it was very tasty. The berry desert with berry sorbet was delicious. Also, had girls night out with our daughter and daughter-in-law at Abba Restaurant, and it was fabulous as always. I had the lobster Pad Thai. The Godiva Martini is to die for -- can only drink just one.
