The two times I've been to the Mystic Seaport Maritime Music Festival have been great experiences. The music all day at the various venues and the comraderie and sessions at night in and around the dining commons were memorable. Sitting on the back porch right by the Mystic river, watching boats go by in the evening, and jamming til the wee hours - just memorable. Barry Finn knows what I'm talking about. Performers have several spots, so if you missed an act the first time, you get more chances. You rarely felt like you missed anyone completely. A great mix of established performers and a few newer acts.
