What’s Happening Cape Cod — February Edition
February may be the shortest month of the year, but it’s packed with exciting events across the Cape. From the craftsmanship of a boat builders show to the indulgence of a chocolate festival and family fun at a winter carnival, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
The Boat Builders Show on Cape Cod

Hyport Conference Center, 35 Scudder Avenue, Hyannis
The Boat Builders Show on Cape Cod was created 19 years ago to showcase boats built by smaller, independent boat builders. It is one of the few boat shows in the country dedicated to providing these builders an opportunity to showcase their work and demonstrate to the boating public the level of quality and personal service that is available.
Friday: 2-7 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
