What do you get when you combine the largest annual gathering of Tall Ships in North America, a top-notch Bluegrass festival, and one of the coolest small towns in America on a beautiful river? The Sultana Education Foundation’s Downrigging Weekend. Featuring three days of music, sailing, ship tours, lectures, exhibits, and family activities, there is no festival like it anywhere. And the best part . . . all proceeds from the festival benefit the Foundation’s environmental literacy programs and the other educational nonprofits participating in the festival.

The plan as of now is to stay at Lankford Bay Marina and use the marina courtesy van to commute the 20-minute trip to the event each day. It all depends on how many sign up, so sign up today!  Alternatively, the Chester River Yacht Club has agreed to put us on a waiting list for slips. This facility has a restaurant on site and is only a short mile south of town. Let Steve Allan know at stevenallan.acip@gmail.com if you want your boat to be added to the waiting list. He will stay in touch and keep us up to date as the plan develops.
