Harwich Port Cultural District

The Harwich Port Cultural District is the 53rd state designated cultural district. It is the place for all things land and sea! On the sunniest side of Cape Cod Harwich Port was settled by the seaman and fisherman, many of whom specialized in boat-making, sail-making and carpentry. Harwich Port has quickly over the years become a visitor’s haven with a rich arts and culture scene. From Live music in the Port throughout the summer, to Art in the Park, Artists Shacks at our Seaside Marketplace and more the Port has all you need. A variety of tasty menus, quaint shops, galleries, and more Harwich Port Cultural District is the hub for Live Music, Gallery Strolls, and immersing yourself in Art. Scenic overlooks and quick access to numerous beaches allows all visitors a chance to engage with the Marine Science Life and learn about the significance it has for our cultural community. The Harwich Port Cultural District is a vibrant and robust area that has something for everyone.
