The College Light Opera

The College Light Opera, Falmouth's historic summer stock theatre, is in the midst of its 2022 season. Its deep roots connect it to some of the biggest names in Falmouth history, and its company members carry those roots with them as they strike out into the performing arts world. Join Executive and Creative Director Mark Pearson for a look into that shared history and the connections that grew from it.

Contribute Your Falmouth Road Race Memories

This year on August 21st Falmouth will host the 50th running of the Falmouth Road Race. As thousands of runners race from the starting line, in front of the Captain Kidd on Water Street in Woods Hole, they wind past Nobska Light, up Surf Drive, around Falmouth Harbor, to the finish line in Falmouth Heights.

At the Falmouth Public Library we have large collections of postcards of these local landmarks along the path of the Road Race. We’ve created an Interactive Map so you can follow the runners’ route, with a glimpse at past views of the buildings and seashores they’ll see as they run!

Dig out your old photos, take a picture of your collection of mugs and t-shirts, or write us a few lines about the years you ran, watched, or got stuck in traffic and upload to our map using this link.
