Whether you are a guest at the Inn or visiting the shoreline for the day, these curated experiences offer a sophisticated way to enjoy the beauty of Chatham.

Hands-On Gardening at the Farm

For those looking to bring a piece of Cape Cod home, the Inn’s gardening workshops are a seasonal must. Under the guidance of Fine Gardener Pam Vasques and Farm Manager Shane Chambers, participants can dive into the world of horticulture:

  • Patio Planter Classes (May 21 & June 13): Learn the "thriller, filler, and spiller" method for creating stunning container gardens. Enjoy prosecco and cookies as you design a display that will thrive all season.
  • Herb Window Basket Classes (May 23 & June 18): Discover the art of the kitchen garden. The June session even includes an Herb Garden Pizza Party, where you can enjoy flatbreads made with the very herbs you are planting.

Coastal Arts and Culture

Beyond the garden, Chatham Bars Inn serves as a hub for local culture and artistic discovery:

  • Live Music with The Lonely Parrots (May 22): Experience the rising folk-pop duo Michael Martinez and Max Embers. Known for their appearances on Songland and American Idol, they bring a high-energy performance to the Inn. This 21+ event includes a complimentary drink and a menu of delicious light bites.
  • Walking Photography Workshop (May 23): Join educator Paul Muratore for a relaxed stroll through Chatham’s most visually rich locations. Whether you’re using a professional DSLR or a mobile phone, you’ll learn to capture the coastal light and landscape like a pro.
