Celebrating the community along the Hyannis Harbor
Love Live Local’s Love Local Fests are events where people gather and to show their support for the local business community. They occur the last Sunday in July and September and the first weekend in December. Each event is free and open to the public and features the work of 75-120 Cape Cod makers, artisans, artists, farmers and local businesses, along with local entertainment and opportunities to connect with the community.
Join us on Sunday, July 26, from 11 AM to 5 PM at Aselton Park on Hyannis Harbor for the first Love Local Fest of the season! Celebrate all things local as nearly 100 of Cape Cod's favorite artists, makers, and small businesses come together for a day of shopping, food, music, and community along the beautiful Hyannis waterfront.
Browse one-of-a-kind handmade goods, discover new local favorites, and support the small businesses that make Cape Cod such a special place to live, work, and visit. Enjoy delicious eats from Junior Betts BBQ, Mom & Pops Burgers, and Uncle JouJou Food Truck, sweet treats from Cape Cod Macarons, The Cookie Caper, and The Local Scoop, and local sips from Fizzy Potions, All Juice No Cups, and Shine Mobile Coffee.

Frequently Asked Questions
The July and September events are located at Aselton Park, which is located at the crossroads of South and Ocean Streets overlooking the Hyannis Harbor.
It’s a bummer there is no parking on site at Aselton Park, but there are many public parking lots located very close to the event, where you can park for up to 6 hours.
The weather on Cape Cod is hard to predict, so we encourage people to keep an eye on the local forecast and dress appropriately - and if you catch a chill, you can be sure to find a cute sweatshirt at one of our local vendors. Also, Aselton Park does not offer much shade, so make sure you pack a hat and sunscreen! And keep in mind, unless there is extreme weather, the event is rain or shine.
It is free to come to the event and you are invited to spend the day listening to music and enjoying other activities. If you’ve got a few dollars burning a hole in your pocket, be sure to shop with our local makers and brands at the event. Also, we are a small nonprofit who spend countless hours putting these events together and will happily accept any support you might want to give!
Local food trucks and vendors will be offering everything from burgers, BBQ and wraps to coffee, cookies and ice cream pops. You are also invited to pack a picnic or head to one of the great restaurants in the downtown Hyannis area before or after the Fest!
Sorry! There is no seating at the park, so we encourage people to bring a blanket or some beach chairs to post up for the day of listening to live local music, sipping craft beverages and shopping the local makers and brands.
Although there is no secure kid's play area, there are yard games throughout the park. We encourage you to bring a blanket, beach chairs and make a day out of it!
They sure are - as long as they are leashed and like to make friends with other pooches, dogs are most certainly welcome at the Fests.
