MAY FAIRE 2020 Celebrating Our Mathews Water Heritage

May 2, 2020
9:30 AM - 4:30 PM

MAY FAIRE AT MATHEWS HISTORICAL MUSEUM!

MAY FAIRE 2020   "Celebrate Our Mathews Water heritage" -- our county's Spring Heritage Festival sponsored by the Mathews Historical Museum  -- Saturday, May 2, the first weekend in May, on the Court Green

We will honor our water heritage, our watermen and women, lighthouses and their keepers, our shipbuilding heritage, oystering, kayaking as well as some of our artist watermen in an art gallery show at the museum.  

A special event, "Conversations with Watermen," will be held at the Mathews Historic Court House and will feature Mathews residents whose livelihoods have centered around water-related activities and industries.  They will share their stories with us.

Also, as part of the historic nature of May Faire 2020, this year we will launch an electronic pictorial display of watermen who have submitted their photos and stories for publication.

The traditional May Pole dance will be featured on the Court Green, along with our children's corner and area crafts vendors--all will be a part of this year's heritage festival. Come join us and bring your friends.
