The folks down at the Port are putting on the party – you come on down! Here’s more from the Port:
Port of Friday Harbor hosts Spring Splash
at Spring Street Landing (The Clock Dock)
Celebrating the Port of Friday Harbor’s 60th Anniversary
& Opening Day of Boating Season
Tuesday April 27, 4-8pm, Wednesday April 28, 4-8pm and Sunday May 2, Noon to 4pm, the Community is invited to share in the Marina’s first ever Spring Splash filled with water related festivities. Locals and guests alike are invited to help us celebrate all the great activities offered by the many businesses on our waterfront.
Harbormaster, Tami Hayes said, “The Port’s 60th Anniversary is a great opportunity to invite the community down to the waterfront to see what activities go on in the marina and to celebrate the Opening Day of Boating Season with San Juan Island Yacht Club. If everyone has a good time we’d love to make an Annual Waterfront Festival out of it over opening day weekend.”
Scheduled so far, local marina companies NakNek Dive Charters, San Juan Canvas, Friday Harbor Seafoods, San Juan Safaris, Wharfside B&B, San Juan Island Marine Center, Kenmore Air and San Juan Excursions will have either booths, displays, boat rides, dive demonstrations, raffles, seaplane rides, open houses and more.
Other things to experience and see; Historic Vessels Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain will be dockside, open and available for tours.
Town of Friday Harbor Fire Boat Confidence and crew will have water side demonstrations.
Our own local chapter of Pirates “The Cutthroats” will be in full regalia for all the day’s events with a pirate dunk tank and great pirate games for the kids.
To keep everything fun and festive we have live music Tuesday with “Devorah”, Wednesday “The Joint Cheefs” and Sunday “The DuoTones”, all great local talent.
Also great food for the family with local seafood specials, hot-dog stand and Kiwanis trailer.
