About

It’s anchors aweigh, my friend, as we celebrate everything there is to love about our waterfront locale!

The Maritime Festival is packed with nautical fun, including delicious seafood, live music, and maritime-themed art. Meet pirates, learn about local marine life, and take home treasures that’ll make any sailor smile.

It’s a day that will leave you hooked on waterfront living!
