The Dingy Food Truck will be on site from 1 PM -4 PM with drinks, sandwiches and more for sale. Bring a blanket or chairs. Have lunch and spend the afternoon with us.
The Rusty Skipper Band made its debut in 1995 as part of the Cohasset Harborfest, at the enthusiastic suggestion of the late Rev. Ed Atkinson of First Parish in Cohasset. Fourteen adults marched in the parade that first year, and we were a ragtag group. Despite Rev. Atkinson’s sudden death that summer, or perhaps in his honor, the band continued, and since 1996, the Rusty Skipper Band has grown steadily, in numbers of musicians and performances, as well as in scope and difficulty of music and quality of musicianship. Yet we remain a quintessential community band.
