Cape Cod Kindness Festival 2021-celebrated kindness in a BIG way!
Updated: Nov 16, 2021
World Kindness Day, November 13, 2021, was celebrated in a grand way at the Cape Cod Kindness Festival at Buzzards Bay Park in Bourne, Massachusetts. The festival, the first of its kind, drew in a enormous crowd from the surrounding community and beyond.
The Kindness Festival was sponsored by Kind Hearts for Kids, Inc. which supports adoptive, foster and kinship families in the Cape Cod area. Nicole Mitchell, the owner of the not-for-profit organization, brainstormed the idea of the kindness festival to bring the community together for fun filled day-and after seven weeks of planning, the Cape Cod Kindness Festival was born. Even the weather was kind, (at least during the Festival) with a sunny and 60 degree November day!
The Festival’s success was ensured by the numerous sponsors, volunteers and vendors. Patrons spent the afternoon browsing a extensive variety of items and crafts for sale at numerous tent displays set up throughout the Park. If you couldn’t find at least one item to check off of your holiday gift list, you definitely weren’t looking hard enough!
Adding to the fun of the day, our own local celebrity, Stephanie Viva from1023FM, kept the party going with music for all ages. The kids enjoyed their own dance party in the gazebo with Stephanie spinning the tunes!
If shopping, dancing or eating wasn’t your thing, there were plenty of other activities to fill your afternoon. There was walk-a-thon and litter clean up held along the Canal. The Pound Martial Arts held a demonstration of their students amazing talents. Greyhound Pets of America held a meet and greet-dog owners of all types of breeds brought their pups to the park to visit. Alpacas, goats and even bunnies were on hand from Pine Meadow Alpacas, delicious food was delivered from the Wicked Fire Pizza food truck and for desert, a bake sale full of goodies galore!
