About this Event
Forget the backyard barbecue — this Fourth of July weekend is starting on the water.
Picture it: a cold drink in your hand, the Merrimack River rolling by, and Soul Rebel Project laying down live reggae as the sun goes down. That's how we're kicking off one of the best weekends of the summer — and we want you on board.
This year we're making it extra special. The brand new Captain's Lady is hitting the water for the very first time — her maiden summer — and we can't think of a better way to christen her than with a party. She's fresh, she's beautiful, and she's ready to party.
Three hours. Live music. Full bar. Good people. The perfect way to kick off the Fourth.
