What is Rockport Festivals?
Rockport Festivals developed out of a desire to make downtown Rockport come alive with outdoor, community-oriented events featuring food, music and art. Two festivals are held each year -- Motif No. 1 Day emphasizes the arts and Rockport HarvestFest emphasizes local food. Each festival is scheduled to take place the weekend just before and just after Rockport's traditional summer season. We seek to partner with existing businesses, civic groups and cultural organizations to reach our shared goals of bringing out the best in Rockport! We are a volunteer group and could always use a few more people to come on board and be a part of the festivals in Rockport.
