The best things in life are free

But, while Harborfest has always been free to attend, it has never been free to produce. It exists because this community shows up & contributes. Because people and businesses believe in it. Because you know how important and valuable this festival is and you want to help keep it alive and thriving.

That is why we are excited to introduce the new & improved, Friends of Harborfest memberships.
