Washington Harbor District Allaince
announces dates for 2012 Marine Market
Washington, NC.... Mark your calendars for the 2nd annual Washington Marine Market to be held on Saturday, April 28th. This year’s market will be a one day event with added attractions and expanded hours.
The Washington Harbor District Alliance (WHDA) is pleased to bring this popular event back to downtown Washington. We will have a marine flea market, used boat corral, new boat show, and an artist market. Beth Byrd, Executive Director of WHDA said, “The Washington Harbor District Alliance saw a niche that was not being filled. Beaufort County has strong ties to the marine industry. Our citizens are lucky to live on the nations’ 2nd largest estuarine system. That means there are great numbers of consumers and vendors for this type of an event. What better place to stage the market than our beautiful downtown harbor district?”
“This year’s event has a wonderful addition to the lineup,” Byrd goes on to explain. “We are very excited to announce that the Beaufort County Arts Council will present the BOCO Music Festival on the same day”. The BOCO (short for Beaufort County) Music Festival offers a full line-up of very talented musicians. “We hope everyone will join us for this exciting event."
Past participants will be back including the NC Estuarium, Park Boat Company, and The Carolinas Chapter of the Antique Outboard Motor Club. Great fresh seafood and land lubber grub will be available during the market. The always popular roving pirates and George and Martha Washington will be back for those photo-ops!
