Cape May Harbor Fest

Saturday, June 19, 2010
10am-5pm
(rain date Sunday, June 20)
Harbor Fest, a celebration of the sea, its culture, its economy and its ecology. 

Although Cape May’s harbor will provide the overall setting for Harbor Fest; most land-based activities will be held at or near Cape May’s Nature Center and its distinctive blue roofed Trucksess headquarters. Venues around the harbor will be linked by trolley and water taxi.

Here's what to expect....
· a street festival with prepared fresh seafood, live entertainment by Bluebone, activities for kids, arts and crafts vendors and educational displays.
· Cape May’s top chefs will meet at the Trucksess Center in order to compete in a scallop cook-off.
· Kayak & canoe regattas in the harbor…a point-to-point navigational challenge, as well as birding programs for boaters and bathers.
· A Coast Guard demonstration, educational programs, junior fishing contest and kayak eco-tours. 
· Trolley shuttle service.  

Since its inception as a whaling village in the 17th Century, Cape May’s economy and culture has been linked to the sea. But with the promise comes a challenge. Harbor Fest is intended to heighten awareness and appreciation of this fragile resource. 

 This event is a partnership of the Chamber of Commerce of Greater Cape May, the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts (MAC), the Nature Center of Cape May, Rutgers Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences and the Cape May Tourism Commission.
