Don't miss tomorrow's 27th Annual HarborFest Dock Day and Craft Festival on the Town Dock and along lower Main Street from 10am - 5pm.

A new photo exhibit is on display in the pilot house (looks like a red tugboat) near the Dock entrance. Here's a "sneak peak" photo. The exhibit can be visited 24/7 since the display is viewed through the pilot house's windows.

The Art Guild is featuring Art in the Park at Sunset Park next to the Town Dock all day during HarborFest. Aside from their art exhibit and a button making craft for children, this year, a plein air painter will be giving demonstrations.

Yay! The weather forecast has changed in our favor. The rain should hold off until mid-afternoon. We're hoping mid-afternoon becomes early evening!

Don't miss the 90+ vendor craft show, cruises, entertainment on the children's stage and in front of the tugboat, children's fun park, kayaking and paddle boarding and more!
