Belfast Harborfest 2012

August 17-19 2012 ~ Admission is Free!

On August 18, you can once again help the waterfront come alive with a unique display of talent and good old-fashioned competition. Right before your eyes, teams of two will be handcrafting a 12-foot wooden skiff. As the sawdust starts to settle, the teams will sprint their boats out onto the salty sea and then row to the finish line (or in one case last year, sinking) for all to see.

This is in addition to a Friday Night “Launch Party” hosted by Three Tides Waterfront Bar & Marshall Warf Brewing Co., a 5K road race along the waterfront, an open house at French & Webb, maritime exhibits, demonstrations and speakers, a blueberry pancake breakfast, children’s nautical activities, local vendors, a judged Classic Small Boat Show, live music and, of course, delicious food!
