Marblehead Chamber of Commerce Announces 2013 Maritime Festival

June 18, 2013 – Marblehead, MA – From August 8 to August 11, 2013, the Marblehead Chamber of Commerce will be celebrating Marblehead’s maritime heritage by presenting the second annual Marblehead Maritime Festival.  The Festival has an exciting line-up of maritime festivities including a garden party, two days of classic yacht racing, sailing aboard the Schooner Ardelle, maritime exhibits, historic tours, bags tournament, live entertainment, kayaking, a treasure hunt and many family friendly activities.

On Saturday August 10, 2013, the town of Marblehead has reserved the Philip T. Clark Landing on Marblehead Harbor in the center of the historic downtown for exhibits by local and visiting maritime-related businesses. We are inviting interested parties to sell maritime-related merchandise and distribute promotional literature for a small fee. Outdoor exhibit spaces are approximately 10’ x 10’. Multiple spaces may be reserved if you require additional space.

This very unique event will feature exhibitors including marine outfitters, nautical accessory boutiques, boat builders, yacht brokers, sail-makers, and more. We expect to attract thousands of sailors, boat owners and other maritime enthusiasts not just from Marblehead, but from all over the Northeast, as well as participants in yachting events occurring that week. We will be publicizing the event in national and local publications, broadcast media and online.
