' Rockport is a hub of activity in the summer but has beauty and activities all seasons of the year so check us out anytime of the year'

The weather has been very kind to Rockport during the winter and the result seems to be an early Spring. The water is lower than usual due to the lack of precipitation over the winter. The ice is mostly gone and boats are being launched for the true early birds. The geese are returning and robins are everywhere, true signs of Spring. Local restaurants are offering Easter Brunches and the tour boats will start running April 14^th.

Many seasonal businesses are getting ready to open and some are doing major renovations.  Check the Business Directory for business specials and the Events Calendar for opening dates. May 1^st marks the opening of pike fishing and most of our seasonal businesses.

A key date to note is the Rockport Development Group's annual Spring Plant and Community Yard Sale being held on May 8^th at The Rockport Lighthouse on the Parkway. Things get underway at 8:30 through until 3:30 providing a great opportunity to stock up on the bedding plants, grab lunch at the barbecue and connect with neighbours after the long winter. If you would like to participate and purchase a table in the yard sale contact us via this website or contact any member.

There will be a barbecue, plant sale, book sale, yard sale and likely home baking and a variety of other tables of goods not to mention a little music to welcome Spring and Summer.

Hope to see you there!

And, you can see our Mayor at work at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China. We're enjoying being twinned with the 1000 Islands in China and look forward to a long relationship!
