SandwichFest 2012

 It’s time for the annual SandwichFest in our quaint little village. Guests at our bed and breakfast really enjoy this event every year. It is part entertainment, part street fair, and, most importantly, an opportunity to try sandwiches featured in our local restaurants. You will actually help select the best Sandwich sandwich. This is small town fun at its best.

We are fortunate to have so many good restaurants here. Putting their best sandwich forward will be the Aqua Grille (who has won this event a couple of times), the Belfry Inne, Beth’s Special Tea’s, Bobby Byrne’s, the British Beer Company, Momo’s, Hemisphere, the Dan’l Webster Inn, Café Chew, The Clubhouse Sports Bar & Grille, and the newest restaurant in town, the Café Riverview. There will be three seating’s for attendees. The first is at 11:00 am, there is one at 12:00 noon, and the last is at 1:00 pm.

Gregg Harper

The entertainment will begin at 11:00 am when Gregg Harper will be performing. Gregg is a wonderful local talent who is well-known on Cape Cod. Following him at 12:30 pm will be Brian “Fishmonger” Kelly and at 2:00 pm will be Brian Sances and The Big Three.

In addition to great food and entertainment, there will be a fun Pet Tricks Competition and Parade, Sandwich Bag Races, an Antique Car Show featuring autos from the Heritage Museum & Gardens private collection, a Farmers Market, a Sandwich Artisans Show and Sale, and a Raffle for $10,000.

The event is on Saturday, June 30th from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm, and is on Jarves Street. The street will be closed to automobile traffic and vendors will be set up all along the street. Tickets to sample sandwiches and vote for your favorite are just $15 per person. The street fair and entertainment are absolutely free. For more information, contact the Sandwich Chamber of Commerce.

The generous sponsors for this event are Scenic roots, Vermont Pure, Nauset Disposal, Reid-Hofmann Insurance, and radio stations WXTK and COOL.

The Sandwich Food Pantry will have a donation location at the street fair. Please remember those who are in need and stop by.
