For almost four decades, this simple shellfish has been the center of attention in Bourne – and why not? Sweet and succulent, baked, sauted or deep-fried, this traditional Cape Cod delicacy has been attracting visitors throughout New England.

But the Bourne Scallop Festival features so much more. Originally conceived as a way to raise money and showcase local shellfish, the Scallop Festival has grown into the Upper Cape’s ultimate event, attracting nearly 40,000 people annually. An easy day-trip from Boston or Providence, the festival showcases hundreds of arts and crafts exhibitors in a juried show, rides and games for the children, musical entertainment from some of the Cape’s most popular bands, seating for 1,000 people – and of course great food! Enjoy our expanded food court featuring lobster rolls, clam chowder, burgers, hot dogs, desserts and more. Parking is conveniently located on site. Admission is $5. Children under 12 enter free.
