At the July 3 First Friday coming up this week, live music comes to three Orleans Village stops - Wild Water Collective, Sparrow Store, and Adorn - thanks to the Orleans Cultural District 's Creative Economy Collaboration mini-grant program.

The program connects local businesses with working artists for First Friday performances. Last month, Gallant Jewelers, Eastwind Gallery, and Sandbar Denim brought it to life. This Friday, three more.

Stop in, support local, and enjoy the music.

Join nature enthusiast and Orleans Conservation Trust (OCT) Trustee, Jamie Demas, for her second Guided Hike with Orleans Recreation. Thanks to our partnership with the OCT and Jamie, residents are able to enjoy this 1.5 mile guided hike to Mill Pond.

Experience a landscape shaped by both natural forces and human history. Once cleared for agriculture, the area still holds old fruit trees and remnant cranberry bogs. As we explore the trail, we’ll pass an ecological restoration area where native grasses and pollinator plants are being reintroduced. Cedar trees, historic stone walls, and plant ID tags await us along this trail. We will stop at the freshwater “duck pond” to look for waterfowl before continuing on to the salt water Mill Pond, an extension of Nauset estuary.
