The 20th Endless Summer Waterfront Festival kicks off this Saturday, September 6 at noon, and promises to be the biggest and best event yet!

With free admission, free parking, and lots of entertainment, there’s no excuse for not attending. If the weather is an issue on Saturday, the Hull-Nantasket Chamber of Commerce has set Sunday, September 7 as a rain date.

Endless Summer was created to give Hull’s businesses one final boost before the end of the season. It has grown in size and popularity as the years have passed.

Dozens of vendors and other participants will line Nantasket Avenue under tents, including Hull Pride, Hull Artists, the town’s master plan steering committee, Hull Garden Club, the Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll drive, MBTA representatives to discuss local bus service, and many other community groups.

A special event planned for this year’s festival is a “Mrs. Roper Romp” – a fun activity where participants dress in the colorful caftan style of the Helen Roper character from the 1970s television show “Three’s Company.” For details and to register, visit “The Helens Invade Hull” event listing on Facebook.

Music at the Bernie King Pavilion includes Assisted Living kicking off the festival at noon, Nantasket Beach Drummers from 1:15-1:35 p.m., Anna Daley Young from 1:45-3:00 p.m., and Gracie Gracie & All The Good Boys from 3:30-4:45 p.m. The Paragon Carousel will be open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Endless Summer is supported by grants from the Save the Harbor Save the Bay, Massachusetts Department of Conservation, Massachusetts Cultural Council, and Hull Cultural Council.
