Chicago Maritime Festival February 24, 2012

The Chicago Maritime Festival is an international gathering to celebrate Chicago's maritime community. It is an event organized by Common Times in partnership with the Chicago History Museum, and the Chicago Maritime Museum. Because the Festival's 10th anniversary coincides with the 200th Anniversary of the War of 1812, support has been given by the Canadian Consulate General in Chicago to bring maritime music performers from Canada and also to engage a number of presentations about the war. Please consult their website the a full schedule of seminars, workshops and concerts.
