Rockport Donut Festival

The Town of Rockport is excited to announce the 4th annual Donut Festival - a 2-day event filled with donut themed festivities. The Rockport Donut Festival pays homage to the history of the donut here in Rockport, and to kick the summer off with music, food, and fun for all ages.

Rockport is home to the creator of the Donut Hole, Captain Hanson Gregory - commemorated on a plaque at the Nativity Lutheran Church in Rockport. Given this, it is a great reason for the community to come together to celebrate the weekend after National Donut Day. Smithsonian has an article that relates the Donut's journey into what we now know it as today, and how our Captain Hanson Gregory and his mother played a part in it: The History of the Donut.
