| Nov 26 to 29 | Gobbler Weekend |

The bay stays open for fishing along the wharves, and you will find fishing holes cut through the ice. The Departures piers and the sound never freeze.
Gobbler Weekend
Section titled “Gobbler Weekend”A huge, furious turkey has escaped the kitchens. Ring the bell on the sands below the Breaker’s Yard to call The Gobbler. Small turkeys also run loose around town: whack one for a snack and a little money, up to 8 a day.
Ice Boat Regatta
Section titled “Ice Boat Regatta”Ring the bell at the boat stand on the ice, by Tally Head, and you are in a boat on the start line. Pass the gates in order and finish your laps. Three courses rotate every Monday, each with its own leaderboard by the stand. Your first finish each week pays a Reef Crate key.
