Chicago Maritime Festival Update
The Chicago Maritime Festival will take place on March 11th. It offers the most diverse maritime program in the Great Lakes. The Chicago Historical Society (our partner and host) will be under extreme makeover (renovation) during the early part of 2006 but the good folks at CHS have made accommodations for the festival at the Latin School right across the street (SE corner of North Avenue and Clark Street). The Latin School offers a fine theatre and several seminar rooms.
Featured performers include: John Townley, sailor, historian, concertina guru, and legendary shantyman David HB Drake, Milwaukee’s shantyman, Tom & Chris Kastle, singers, sailors, songwriters, and storytellers and (just confirmed) the 20 man shanty choir from Holland, the Boekaneirs.
The outreach program to area schools, libraries, and senior centers will be expanded as will the seminar offerings. If you have a school or organization who would like a presentation contact the festival 773-774-7216 or visit www.chicagomaritimefestival.org.
