Summertime in New England is a fickle thing. But luckily there are plenty of ways to sit back and savor a few glorious moments. And the 19th Annual Cape Cod Jazz & Arts Festival at Wequassett Resort and Golf Club is a great way to do just that.
Running through the end of August, guests can enjoy the Cape Cod Jazz & Arts Festival every Tuesday and Wednesday all summer long. Hosted on the Garden Terrace of Wequassett, the festival features an array of performances. This season Wequassett is offering a stationed dinner at each performance with a menu curated by Executive Chef James Hackney.
Tickets for dinner can be booked on OpenTable for $95.25/person and include tax and tip. Food stations open at 6:30pm and close at 8:00pm, with the Jazz performance starting at 8:30pm. And if you arrive a little early, there will be some snacks to enjoy and a full bar available. However, the performances are also free and open to the public, so if you want to just come and listen to the music you can do so without purchasing a ticket.

While popping down to Wequassett is totally doable as a day trip, why not treat yourself to a little getaway? Wequassett is home to twenty-eight Atlantic, which has maintained a Forbes Five-Star ranking and that combined with ocean views make this hotel a foodie haven.
Accommodations at Wequassett range from signature suites to cottages to villas to private homes. So, depending on who you plan on bringing with you on this cape cod escape, there is a choice appropriate. Classically Cape Cod in style, Wequassett is one of those places where families return to year after year because is there anything better than a summer vacation tradition? Well, this is just the place to start your own!
There is so much to do on the property and if you are lucky to have decent weather during your visit hopefully much of your time will be spent at the beach or pool! However, we also recommend grabbing a drink at the Libaytion bar right on the water before dinner and perhaps getting in a little sweat sesh and join in on the Torch’d workout series led by celebrity trainer Isaac Boots as part of his residency at the resort this month.
