This year's festival takes on special significance, as the Camden community recognizes not just what makes it unique but also the important role maritime heritage plays in shaping the lives of all who live here. And, most of all, to celebrate it! Events occur at the Public Landing, at the Harbor and Harbor Park and Downtown. (Note: This event appears formerly to have been called Windjammer Weekend.)
