Chicago Maritime Festival

For over a decade the Chicago Maritime Festival has presented the most diverse maritime program in the Great Lakes featuring concerts, seminars, workshops, and an outreach program to area schools, libraries, and senior centers that serves 2,000-4,000 each year. Subjects include shipwreck diving, sea shanties, model boats for kids, safety at sea, weather, marine art, and much more. It is held at the Chicago History Museum and offers programs in multiple locations year round. www.chicagomaritimefestival.org
