The Why Behind the Bristol Harbor Festival! 🌊⚓
Each year, the Bristol Harbormaster’s Office joins forces with our local fishermen for a day filled with sunshine, smiles, and community spirit! 🎣💙 All funds raised go right back into caring for our beautiful waterfront.

Because of your support, we’ve:
✅ Sent kids to Save the Bay Camp
✅ Added a bench honoring our commercial fishermen near Firemen’s Memorial Park
✅ Updated Rockwell Park’s playground
✅ And soon—we’ll welcome the Collec’Thor to help keep our waters clean!

None of this would be possible without our community coming together year after year. Let’s make more memories (and waves) this year! 🌊✨See you on the 16th!
