Children's Programs
The Mahone Bay Classic Boat Festival is fun for all ages, but we offer some real treats for the younger Festival goers. Best of all, the events are free.
Note that materials for all workshops are supplied by the Festival but space is limited so arrive early. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Some projects involve the use of paint - you may wish to bring old clothes or a smock.

Shippy Shappy Placemats

Starting with prepared fabric, the kids will use fabric paint and stencils to creat nautical placemat masterpieces. Challenge your child's creativity with ships and shapes to create a fun placemat for them to take home and use for years to come. Note: Please note that we will be using non-washable paint, so be sure the child is dressed appropriately.
