A cherished Cape Cod Tradition

Cape Cod has a rich history of cultural and community activities.  One special and charming tradition is the "Stroll".  A stroll is a community event where people gather at a specific area of a village and take a walk together.  Typically, this occurs in a commercial center where stores and eateries are plentiful.  It is an opportunity to re-connect with humankind and enjoy a pleasant stroll with your fellow citizens - with no objective other than to connect on a personal level.  Many Cape Cod towns and villages enhance the experience with musical acts and other attractions to increase the pleasure of an evening walking around a truly unique part of the world.  Here in Harwich, we have our stroll every Wednesday night during the summer (and a special Christmas stroll the first Saturday in December!).  Many other villages have similar events throughout the summer and holidays.  Strolls welcome visitors and residents alike - all you need to do is show up - there is no admission fee!  Find out more at our Chamber of Commerce website www.harwichcc.com or www.thestroll.com.
