Every 4th of July, Flood’s Cove is pleased to host a casual family party for everyone that is renting a cottage. The party commences with the reading of the Declaration of Independence under the American flag waving on the cove flag pole.  It continues with a number of family fun events that include a large, multi-team, scavenger hunt for children up to the age of 18, an epic tug of war using a thick anchor line; and a hilarious egg toss that matches two lines of two partners who toss a raw egg back and forth to each other until there is only a single surviving egg and one victorious team.  The teams are made up of participants age five year old to 85 five year old.  The fun continues as up to 100 freshly caught lobsters are steamed-cooked in front of the Big House in large aluminum containers filled with sea water over open flames.  Everyone is asked to bring a food dish that will be shared with all at Flood’s Cove.  The day ends with a large bon fire on the rocks down by the ocean as night falls and a wonderful fireworks display finishes out the celebrations.  If you are staying in Flood’s Cove on the 4th of July, bring your family, some food and drinks and have lots of fun making some unforgettable memories enjoying the Independence Day celebrations at Flood’s Cove.
