26th Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival
is October 4 at CBMM

ST. MICHAELS, MD—One of the most popular gatherings of small and unique water craft in the U.S.—the 26th Mid Atlantic Small Craft Festival—takes place at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum on Saturday, October 4, from 10:00am - 5:00pm.

More than 200 unique small craft will be on display, including kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, rowing shells, sailing skiffs, prams and the unusual "one-of-a-kinds."

Proud boat owners—many who hail from ports up and down the East Coast—will offer boat building demonstrations as well sailing, paddling, and rowing competition. The Museum's boat yard staff, and instructors from the Chesapeake Wooden Boat Builders School, will also be on hand to offer maritime demonstrations.

Children of all ages will also have plenty to do, with activities like cardboard boat building and races, model boat building and sailing, and kite making workshops..

There's down-home feel is evident throughout the event. Boats are in frequent use, not simply sitting on display. There are participants who started attending the festival as toddlers, who now bring their own family to participate.

Admission to the Small Craft Festival is $13 for adults, $10 for seniors, and $5 for children ages 6 to 17. Museum members and children five and under are admitted free. For more information or to receive registration materials to participate in this year's Small Craft Festival, please contact CBMM at 410-745-2916.
