One of the greatest gifts you can give your children is happy and healthy parents. Children thrive when their parents thrive. Parents, get out there and have some fun this summer with some live music and dancing on Cape Cod! From rock to jazz to classical, Cape Cod has you covered. Be sure to check out some of these venues and performers.

  1. Great post Tracy!

    I spend my Friday nights in Chatham this time of year to see the Chatham Band.

  2. Thanks Danielle! That’s awesome! I grew up in Chatham. We hosted AFS students in High School and all of the balloons came from the AFS program. We would spend a few hours blowing up and stringing the balloons. The proceeds went to AFS.
