Juneau celebrated its maritime geography, history, culture and commerce in its inaugural Juneau Maritime Festival on National Maritime Day, Saturday, May 22, with contests, vessel tours, food vendors, informational booths and activities for all ages. The festival was coordinated by the Juneau Economic Development Council, which was most grateful for help from a long list of partners, sponsors and industry volunteers representing a broad cross-section of marine-based and community leaders, businesses, organizations and individuals.

Planning is already underway to put the wisdom gained from the first festival into play for an even more successful 2nd Annual Juneau Maritime Festival in 2011. If you have interest or expertise in any of the following areas, please let us know how you'd like to be involved: fundraising, locations and facilities, food services, booths, contests and competitions, marketing and prizes, demonstrations and adult activities, or children's activities.

And if you attended the 2010 Juneau Maritime Festival, visit us on Facebook and comment on what you liked and what you think we should change for 2011.
