Cape Cod Quahog Day

Cape Cod’s favorite weather forecaster, “Doug the Quahog,” brought bright news at the 17th Annual Quahog Day celebration, held at Blue Water Resort in South Yarmouth. On the first day of summer—June 20, 2025—Doug predicted 80 glorious beach days ahead for Summer 2025!

Perched in his trusty clamming basket and surrounded by his loyal security team, Doug whispered his sunny forecast to Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce CEO Paul Niedzwiecki, who delivered the happy news to excited onlookers. The host of the 2025 ceremony was Chris Gloninger, Senior Climate Scientist, Woods Hole Group.

Celebrated on the first day of summer each year since 2009, Quahog Day has become a rite of passage into the glorious summer season for Cape Codders, as the Cape’s beloved meteorological mollusk, Doug the Quahog, gives his much-anticipated prediction for how many beach days lie ahead. The 17th Annual Quahog Day was sponsored by Hy-Line Cruises, Tracy Volkswagen, Scargo Café, Blue Economy Foundation, Kandy Korner, Cape Cod Melody Tent, Scorton Creek Media, and CapeSpace.
