After five successful years we are pleased to announce the 6th Annual Onset Bay Blessing of the Fleet!

The 2019 Blessing of the Fleet will kick off on Saturday July 6, at 10:30 am. For those of you interested in this event, spectators can view the parade of boats from the Onset Pier while taking in all the festivities.

Participating boaters will parade their vessel on a route that will form between the islands near red nun 14, then proceed inbound to the face of the Onset Pier where your vessel will be blessed by our local priest. All mariners are encouraged to decorate their vessel. Lets see your creativity! Patriotic, pirates, dance party!!! Yes, we have great prizes for best dressed vessel and crew.

To participate in the Blessing of the Fleet please email us: OnsetBOTF@gmail.com or feel free to message us at the official Onset Bay Blessing of the Fleet facebook page. Please provide us with your contact information, vessel name and registration number.

We look forward to seeing everyone at The Onset Bay Blessing of the Fleet!

Immediately after the boat parade, children of all ages are invited to participate in some fun activities to celebrate Independence Day! As in the past, we will be hosting a Pet Parade, A Doll Carriage Parade and a Bicycle Parade. Sign up sheets will be made available that morning on the Pier. Ribbons will be given for best presentation. For more info contact us at onsetvillage@yahoo.com or call 508-295-7072
