SHARING THE HERITAGE

Celebrating the 75th Blessing of the Fleet

and the 26th Portuguese Festival

A percussionist with the Highland Light Scottish Pipe Band, which normally practices in Wareham, proves you don’t have to be Portuguese to join in Provincetown’s festival. The band is named for the lighthouse that is now in Truro, but also after a historic Scottish regiment, the Highland Light Infantry.
