Cape Cod comes alive in July with celebrations that feel both grand and intimate. Whether you are drawn to fireworks over the water, garden tours, or small-town festivals, you will find something to love this month. Here are some of the best events on Cape Cod to experience during your getaway in July 2025.
Hydrangea Festival at Heritage Museums and Gardens
Cape Cod is famous for its beautiful hydrangeas, and every summer the Heritage Museums and Gardens in Sandwich hosts the annual Hydrangea Festival. This year’s event runs from July 11 through July 20, and it is one of the highlights of the summer. You can take a self-guided tour through the expansive North American Hydrangea Test Garden and the Cape Cod Hydrangea Society Display Garden to see hundreds of hydrangea varieties in full bloom.
The festival also includes hands-on learning at the Hydrangea Discovery Cart, where you can pick up tips for identifying and caring for these beautiful plants. Families can enjoy a special activity guide designed just for kids, making it a fun event for all ages. If you fall in love with the blooms, you can even purchase a plant at the on-site sale to take a little piece of Cape Cod home with you. All activities are included with regular museum admission.
Cape Cod Greek Fest
On July 11 and 12, you can experience a bit of Mediterranean flavor at the Cape Cod Greek Fest in Centerville. Hosted at St. George Greek Orthodox Church, this festival brings authentic Greek cuisine, live music, and traditional dancing to the Cape. You will find everything from baklava and spanakopita to gyros and dolmades, all made fresh on-site. The lively atmosphere continues into the evening with dancing and music that will make you feel like you are spending the night in Greece rather than New England. It is a fun cultural experience and a great break from the typical beach day.
