Join us in New Bedford, America's largest commercial fishing port, to learn about the men and women who harvest the North Atlantic. Walk the decks of a scalloper, dine on fresh seafood, mend a fishing net and watch a Coast Guard rescue demonstration. Experience the workings of the industry which brings seafood from the ocean to your plate.
The Working Waterfront Festival invites artists 16 years and older to submit a creative design for the 2008 Festival T-Shirt. Designs should convey the festival's emphasis on the commercial fishing industry and the working port.
The winning entry will receive a $150 cash prize. Entries must be emailed by or postmarked no later than May 30th. The winning entry and designer will be announced at the June 12 AHA Night in Downtown New Bedford!
The Working Waterfront Festival will present the many popular activities of past years including performances of music, dance and poetry; demonstrations and contests of industry skills; tours of workboats; documentary films and footage at sea; cooking demonstrations; author readings; children's activities; U.S. Coast Guard demos; Tug Boat Muster; whaleboat races, and more!
Harbor Tours are offered at a discounted rate during the Festival weekend. Food and beverages are available for sale with proceeds benefiting the Working Waterfront Festival.
