Halloween on the Windmill Green

The Saturday before Halloween, we invite local businesses, Eastham Town Departments and other groups in the community to volunteer their time provide trick or treating for kids. Everyone comes to the Windmill Green in a costume and goes table to table trick or treating to fill their buckets with candy!

Each year's attendance reaches close to 300 people. We could not have do this without the help and support of our local businesses, Eastham Town Departments and various individuals and community groups. We are so thankful to everyone who participates!

If you are interested in participating as a vendor, please contact us at 508-240-5974.

15th Annual Duck Race Photos 2021

This year was our 15th year hosting our Duck Race where we had a total of 30 prizes between Thanksgiving turkeys, pies, gift cards (thanks to a local donation), a trophy and a duck hat. This event would not have been successful without the help of our wonderful volunteers for the Eastham community. This was by far our largest turnout to date with approximately 250 people in attendance! We love our Eastham community and can't wait for next year's race!
