Exhibitor
Charleston Harbor Fest invites you to join us for this year’s event June 26-29th, 2009. The festival grounds will be open Friday-Sunday, and then Monday, June 29 will feature the amazing Parade of Sail in Charleston Harbor as the ships leave for Boston. There will be no exhibitor displays on Monday. Charleston is one of only two U.S. ports for this grand Tall ships event. We anticipate more than 80,000 visitors throughout the weekend, which makes your presence there ever-more important.
With more attractions and visitors than ever before, this is the perfect year to get involved! Attractions will include more than a dozen Tall Ships® from all over the world including the US Coast Guard Eagle, Capitan Miranda, our very own Spirit of South Carolina, and many, many more! We will be featuring an authentic Olde Charles Towne living history camp, wooden boat display, children’s village, education village, family boat building, air show, military and discovery exhibits, food, entertainment and much more.
