Lake Champlain Waterfront, Burlington, Vermont
The Lake Champlain Maritime Festival 2010 celebration promises exciting events and activities within a spectacular setting: Burlington's Waterfront on the shores of Lake Champlain.
The Burlington Waterfront has transformed from what once was an industrial/commercial site to a beautiful and active recreational Waterfront. The Lake Champlain Maritime Festival 2010 will join with the many attractions and activities that line the Lake Champlain Burlington Waterfront to commemorate the past, present and future of Lake Champlain and Burlington.
Stroll along the shores from venue to venue; view the classic boats, long boats, canoe, kayak and Dragon boat demonstrations. Experience boat building, sample local fare, enjoy music and bring the children for hands-on exhibits that will serve to entertain, as well as educate. Take a walking or bike tour or experience a train ride.
Join us in a Festival of all things maritime!
The 2010 Maritime Festival is committed to enhancing the visibility and outreach of historical, educational, family and community organizations within the community. If you are interested in sponsoring, vending or volunteering, please call our office at (802) 482-3313.
