Hey all, I just found out about this, July 17 and 18 in North Wildwood, New Jersey, USA:

Facebook info page

and here's a link to their website:

Website's festival page

This is their first attempt, and I don't know anyone on the committees, so I cannot say how much "trad" maritime music or ephemera will be presented, but I do know that the Cape May community (nearby) is still home to much great seafaring history and lovers of the tradition, so I'm hopeful.

North Wildwood is just north of Cape May at the southern tip of New Jersey. The sites I linked to will have details on directions, etc.

Any chance any nearby US East Coasters might drop by? I will def be there with my family, as that weekend (July 17-18) is the beginning of a week in town for us.

Looking forward to what I am hoping will be a great time!

Regards,
