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 Saturday night Ship Illumination is also highlighted by fireworks over Chestertown's harbor beginning at 8:15pm. 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.
