On the Festival's opening day, local musician Karl Blau will lead a funeral march to accompany the Quick n Dirty Boat Building teams as they carry their completed boats to the water for the ultimate test: to see if they'll float. The parade will start around 4pm at the site of the boat building contest.
Blau put out a call earlier this week for whistlers, drummers, and anyone else interested in beating out a march to the water. He asked that participants arrive around 3pm. *We will quickly fold our marching hats out of newsprint as we learn our parts, don't be too late for that part!," he said in an email.
The festival runs Saturday and Sunday at the Cap Sante Marina.
