Marblehead HarborFest To Return For Second Year

MARBLEHEAD, MA — A celebration of Marblehead's marine history and craftsmen is coming back to the waterfront for the second year.

The 2022 Harborfest will be on Aug. 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. when the State Street parking lot will be transformed into a showcase of the best marine companies and suppliers the town has to offer. The event is designed to celebrate Marblehead's long-standing deep pool of marine professionals who continue to carry on that legacy.

CW Hood Yachts, Ribcraft, Doyle and independent providers will be on hand to show off products and contributions to the harbor culture. HarborMoor, a technology services company that empowers boat owners through end-to-end boat management services, will present this year's event.

There will be live music, family-friendly activities, food —including from the Landing Restaurant's renowned chef/owner Alex Pineda — multiple boats on display, and a CW Hood boat parade off of the landing.

Residents are advised to walk or bike to this year's event as the parking lot will be closed entirely for the marine fair.
