Here's what's happening in Hancock on Friday, July 4th.

The Hancock Volunteer Fire Department will host its annual July 4th Hot Dog Cookout Fundraiser from 12 noon to 1 p.m. on Hancock Point. Grilled hot dogs, chips, and sodas will be available by donation at the Hancock Point Boathouse on the corner of Wharf Road and Bay Avenue. The fundraiser supports the Fire and Emergency Medical Services provided by the Department to Hancock and surrounding communities.

An informal Hancock Point Community walking parade will gather at the Point Village Green at 11:15 a.m. and stroll to the Fire Department Cookout Fundraiser.

At 1:30 p.m. there will be a concert at the Hancock Monument Lot at the junction of Route 1 and Hancock Point Road featuring musicians from the Pierre Monteux Music Festival performing several lively musical selections appropriate to the July 4th holiday. The concert is free and everyone is invited.
