🦈 We’re gonna need a bigger party! Join us for Huttleston HarborFest: JAWS Turns 50 — a full day of ocean-themed fun, coastal shopping, and a special after-dark screening of the movie that made us all afraid to go back in the water.

11AM–4PM: Vendor Market + Daytime Festivities Explore coastal-inspired goods from local makers, snack on seafood bites and sweet treats from food trucks, snap photos with fin-tastic decor and surprises, and enjoy live music, games, and sharky fun all day long!
