Maritime Festival: About

The 2017 Maritime Festival was held on Saturday, September 30, 2017 from 10am to 4pm at Children’s Beach and Brant Point.

The 2017 Festival was a day of hands-on family friendly crafts such as fish printing, basket making, and boat races; robust physical activities like harpoon throwing and line tossing; and lively and enchanting stories and sea shanties to entertain the young and young at heart.
