Michigan Schooner Festival


Over 100 volunteers are needed to assist the Maritime Heritage Alliance during the Michigan Schooner Festival September 10-12 in Traverse City.

The festival will bring together six tall ships in West Grand Traverse Bay of Traverse City. The festival is geared for all ages and offers rides aboard the ships, evening cruises, a “Pancakes with Pirates” breakfast, kid’s activities and “Blue Shadow” will headline the entertainment with a performance on Saturday evening during the Parade of Sails.

Volunteers are needed for registration, kid’s games, cleanup, recycling, passenger/dock assistants and beverage tent.

The Maritime Heritage Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, interpreting and sharing the maritime heritage of the Great Lakes.
