Harborfest 24 In The Books – Countdown Starts For 25th Anniversary In 2012
Harborfest drew to a close on Sunday after four days of music, foods and various other activities filling up the streets of the Port City. Harborfest Executive Director Tom Van Schaack was pleased that the weather maintained favorable throughout the weekend. “There was good weather most of the week, except for a little rain on Friday morning. Otherwise, it was nice days for a change. We had nice weather Thursday and Friday night for the concerts and last night for the fireworks,” Van Schaack said.
The parade, from West Park to Breitbeck, drew several hundred participants, from infants to teen-agers. Many of them were dressed in English attire, highlighting the cultural component of the 2011 festival – “England.” “The children’s parade, that’s what makes Harborfest. It’s all about the children and families,” said Harborfest Board of Directors President John Scardella.
