September 26-27th, 10am - 4pm
Join us for the 2nd annual Cape Cod Pottery Trail! This self-guided trail offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the people and places where Cape Cod pottery is made. With 16 locations on the 2026 trail map and multiple artists at some locations, visitors can experience an extraordinary range of ceramic work—from wheel-thrown and slipcast functional ware to hand-built sculpture, jewelry, raku and wood-fired pieces. Many of these spaces are not open to the public outside the Trail, making the weekend a unique opportunity to meet the artists, see their creative processes, and purchase work directly from the makers. The Trail is free and open to everyone. There is no starting point or route. Visitors already on-Cape can jump onto the trail at any location, while those arriving from off-Cape often begin at the Sagamore location. Download a map from the Pottery Trail website. For an added element of fun, this map doubles as a Pottery Passport which provides space to collect a stamp at each stop. Complete the passport and turn it in at the final stop for a chance to win a handmade piece created by one of the Trail artists. September 25, 5-7pm Kick Off the Weekend at the Preview Party Get the hottest ticket in town! Join us for a festive evening event where you will meet the makers, see (and purchase) samples of their work, connect with the thriving pottery community – all while enjoying food and drink in the beautiful garden setting. Tickets are $10, and available on the website.

Pieces of Me by Bo Petersen, Welcome by Jeanette Kruger 
Pieces of Me is a&nbsp;powerful one-person play written and performed by Bo Petersen. Through an intimate family story, Petersen explores identity, race, the unspoken truths of apartheid South Africa, and the life-changing power of truth.
This acclaimed autobiographical work reveals the emotional cost of hidden family history and the secrets that shape who we are. Proceeds from the event will support Ikamva Labantu, a South African NGO&nbsp; that has provided services for the youngest and the oldest of the most vulnerable in the townships of Cape Town for more than 60 years.
