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 mascot, Doug the Quahog, gives his much-anticipated prediction for how many beach days lie ahead. Surrounded by Quahog Security, Doug whispers his forecast to Cape Cod Chamber CEO Paul Niedzwiecki, who translates it for the masses. Last year, Doug predicted 72 stellar beach days for Cape Cod and was right on the money - Summer 2024 saw 74 beach days!
