September 18 through the 20th, 2009, the Foundation's annual Maritime Festival in Historic Greenport kicked off with a Land and Sea Cocktail reception on Friday evening, September 18th and continued throughout Saturday and Sunday September 19 and 20, with events that include a kayak derby, whale boat race, the famous Clam Chowder contest, and music from different bands.
 

 

Each year the festival draws about 20,000 people and the crowd enjoys a variety of family activities in Mitchell Park including Captain Kidd s Alley, Old Fashioned Children's Games, Snapper Fishing Contest, Traditional Art & Craft Demonstrations, the Greenport Pirates, and the Carousel.

Throughout the village there are a variety of craft and food vendors, local merchants have exciting displays and sales and the Village of Greenport offers a wide array of galleries, antique stores and restaurants to enjoy.


Volunteers and the East End Seaport Museum & Marine Foundation organize the Festival with support from the Village of Greenport, local merchants, corporate sponsors and the local community.


This is a special opportunity for locals and visitors to the East End/Greenport to learn about the East End s Maritime heritage and contribute toward its preservation; participate in educational and fun activities; explore the Village of Greenport s stores and attractions; visit the Village s revitalized waterfront and have a fun day out with the family.
