Yesterday downtown Rockport came alive for the incredible On the Town all day event! From live music and family activities to local shopping and dining, it was a wonderful evening celebrating the community and everything that makes Rockport so special.

Thank you to Rockport Music, the performers, local businesses, volunteers, and everyone who came out to make it such a memorable day. We loved capturing the fun!
