Save the date for the 4th Annual Cape Cod Quahog Day - June 20, 2012!
Who needs a weatherman when you have Doug the Quahog? Celebrate the first day of Summer 2012 "Quahog-style!" Join Doug, his sidekick Johnny Quahog and his beefy Quahog Security Team on June 20th as they gather at the Skipper Restaurant in South Yarmouth for Doug’s much-anticipated summer prediction at the 4th Annual Quahog Day.
Last year, the intuitive bivalve predicted 12 weeks and one day of beach weather for Cape Cod - and a sunny, warm summer was enjoyed by all! The ceremony will be followed by a Quahog Day bash, and will kick off a week of Quahog-related activities Cape-wide, including a Stuffed Quahog Eating contest at the Quahog Republic Dive Bar in Falmouth. Stay tuned for more updates on this fun harbinger of summer!
Quahog Day was conceived by the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce in 2009, after years of fielding calls from people asking what the weather would be like months ahead of their pending vacation. To view photos from Quahog Day 2011, visit the Photo Section of our Facebook Fan Page.

QUAHOG WATCH: There have been numerous sightings of the Cape Cod Quahog since his inaugural prognostication in 2009, including making a rare appearance at the Provincetown Carnival Parade, posing for a photo opportunity with singer Patti Page, visiting with Santa, waiting at an area bus stop, partying at the Martha's Vineyard Big Chili Contest and chilling out at the new Quahog Republic Dive Bar in Falmouth (photos below).
