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 Friday night Ship Illumination and Fireworks Show (9:00pm) is often the busiest night of the Festival. While you are on the waterfront, stop in the Festival Village for some great food and bluegrass (village pass required).
PLEASE NOTE: While there are plenty of great places to view the ships, the docks at the Chestertown Marina are closed at dusk.
Watching fireworks over a historic harbor filled with Tall Ships - what could be better? Stop by the Festival Village area at the Chestertown Marina before the fireworks for some food, drink and great bluegrass!

We are thrilled to announce a new dining option for Sultana Downrigging 2024 at the food truck court yard TwoTen - just three short blocks up from the waterfront. This will be a great casual option for Downrigging visitors. Check back in the fall to see a listing of food trucks and menus!
