    Indepedence Day

    July 4th on Nantucket

    Jul 08 2015 Leave a Comment

    Not even the gray skies would put a damper on the July 4th Water Fight on Main Street. Hundreds of people showed up on Main Street to take in the morning activities: face painting, sand art, the bicycle parade, the dunk tank, watermelon eating contests, and the spectacular 15-minute water fight between two fire trucks and their giant hoses!

    The crowd gets a warm 4th of July welcome!

    Watermelon Eating Contest

    The Watermelon Eating Contest begins. Who doesn’t love watermelon???

    Water Gun Fight

    The water gun fight starts here and then becomes the fire truck water fight. This is where its all happening but if you don’t want to get soaking wet then watch from a distance! Otherwise – Have FUN and get WET! We think the three people on the roof top have the best view in town.
