Seward Harbor Opening Weekend has been a local tradition for years, with businesses and activities rolling out the red carpet for our visitors over the third weekend in May.

In 2007, the activities are bigger and better, with the first annual Seward Ocean Festival.  Combining the Harbor Opening Weekend tradition with a sea kayak extravaganza brings the water alive.  We celebrate and thank our military members this weekend, and invite members of the Armed Services and their families to a free barbeque on Saturday, May 19th, in the small boat harbor.  Family-oriented events around town make sure there's something for the land-lubber in each of us, too!
