Activities
Today, Manomet is known for its Independence Day celebrations, which actually take place one day early, on the 3rd of July. The celebrations usually consist of private bonfires, fireworks, and a typically family oriented crowd. Manomet's July 3 celebration of Independence Day extends back to the 1800s, when residents burned scrap and driftwood on the beach. Tradition dictates that these bonfires be extinguished by the rising tide, so depending on the moon, the festivities may extend well into the night, or end relatively early. The 3rd of July celebrations are featured in a song called "Manomet (On The 3rd Of July)" written by longtime Manomet resident Tedd Rodman.
Transportation
Travelers can get around Plymouth County using the public bus system (GATRA) and they will generally find that it is relatively easy to reach major local tourist attractions in the surrounding area via this method of transport. The American Public Transportation Association, also known as APTA, is the governmental organization which runs the bus system in the area. Buses run from Plymouth to other locations in the city. During the summer, America's Hometown Shuttle runs daily connecting popular destinations in downtown Plymouth and nearby areas. America's Hometown Shuttle is a narrated sightseeing tour that departs from the downtown waterfront area and connects to P&B and GATRA buses as well.
