Calling All Culinary & Food Service Entrepreneurs
The Snack Shack at the Harbor Overlook is a pop-up attraction for visitors to grab a quick snack on their way through to Main Street and Hyannis Harbor. An ideal meeting spot with casual seating for an afternoon break, quick treat and harbor view, this food component complements the Hyannis HyArts Artist Shanties, live music & interactive programs scheduled each week at the Harbor Overlook. The Harbor Overlook is a scenic and visible spot in downtown Hyannis, located in the heart of the Hyannis HyArts Cultural District, at the corner of South and Ocean Streets, steps away from the island ferry terminals, Hyannis Main Street, the Village Green, Bismore Park and overlooking Aselton Park and Hyannis Harbor.
This colorful and comfortable space was created to be a vibrant community gathering place and incubator for pop-up businesses for creatives in all disciplines. Those in the artist shanties and vendors at the Snack Shack are offered a low risk, low cost opportunity in a popular setting to ‘test drive’ their products and services in a prime, highly visible, and heavily trafficked area, and to be immersed in and a part of the sights and sounds of Downtown Hyannis and the Harborfront.
