There is nothing quite like seeing the Downrigging Fleet illuminated along the Chestertown waterfront - for many visitors it is the highlight of the festival! Our Friday night Ship Illumination is often the busiest night of the Festival. While you are on the waterfront, stop in the Festival Village for some great food and bluegrass (ticket required). PLEASE NOTE: While there are plenty of great places to view the ships, the docks at the Chestertown Marina are closed at dusk.
