The 19th Endless Summer Waterfront Festival kicks off this Saturday, September 7 at noon, and promises to be the biggest and best event yet!

With free admission, free parking, and lots of entertainment, there’s no excuse for not attending. If the weather is an issue on Saturday, the Hull-Nantasket Chamber of Commerce has set Sunday, September 8 as a rain date.

Endless Summer was created to give Hull’s businesses one final boost before the end of the season. It has grown in size and popularity as the years have passed.

Dozens of vendors and other participants will line Nantasket Avenue under tents, including the Hull Boosters Club (selling fundraising stickers to support school athletic programs), Hull Artists (featuring their Aquarium art pieces that are being auctioned), and many other community groups.

This year’s food vendors include the South Shore Taco Guy, Lilly’s Craft Barbecue & Catering, MJ’s (Lobster Rolls), Cool Breeze Ice Cream Shoppe, Aahhh-Roma (wood-grilled pizza), Gonzalez Food Truck (Mexican), Cali Arepa (Columbian) Saltivate, Daddy’s Beach Club, Al’s Backyard Berries, Pick Pop Shaved Ice & Thai Food, Rooted Bloom, and Wellspring.

Musical performances at the Bernie King Pavilion include Assisted Living at noon, Here for Now at 1:15 p.m., and Gracie Grace and All Good Boys at 3:30 p.m. These performers are part of the Friends of Nantasket Beach Summer Sunshine Performance Series.

Endless Summer is supported by grants from the Save the Harbor Save the Bay, Massachusetts Department of Conservation, Massachusetts Cultural Council, and Hull Cultural Council.
