Waterways Heritage Festival

Chesapeake's Waterways Heritage Festival celebrates the city's historic waterways and rich cultural heritage. Held annually in early October, the two-day festival showcases the skills, talents and unique trades that helped establish and develop this unique region. The free event is held at Great Bridge Lock Park and features craft and fine-art exhibits, music, guided kayak tours and waterway safety demonstrations by the U.S. Coast Guard. Festivals attendees also have the opportunity to learn about Chesapeake's historic waterways from local historians.
