In Memory of Kaye Williams

Harborfest 2025 will be held in memory of Kaye Williams whose vision, hard work and sheer determination came to define the harbor we know and enjoy today. Our events will begin on Wednesday, August 20th with a “Tribute to Kaye Williams”, followed by a presentation on the history of Black Rock Harbor on August 27th. The schedule will continue on Saturday, September 6th with a walking tour of historic Black Rock Harbor and our celebration will culminate later that evening with a boat parade at dusk followed by a fabulous fireworks display illuminating the harbor, our mariners and, of course, our lighthouse.

Harborfest is sponsored by
