About this Event
What do you get when you combine the largest annual gathering of Tall Ships in North America, a top-notch Bluegrass festival, and one of the coolest small towns in America? The Sultana Education Foundation’s Downrigging Weekend!
All Downrigging musical performances at Downrigging take place in the Music Village at the Chestertown Marina. Passes are required to enter the village where food and beverages are also available for purchase.
Music and Festival Village:
Thanks to our SPONSORS, 100% of ticket proceeds from these performances will go to the Sultana Education Foundation’s scholarship fund.
The Festival Village is an enclosed area at the Chestertown Marina featuring a giant musical performance stage, multiple food and drink vendors, seating, games and other entertainment. All musical performances will take place in the Village. If you aren’t on a Tall Ship, the Festival Village is the place to be for Downrigging.

WORKING TOWARDS ZERO WASTE: The Sultana Education Foundation makes every effort to minimize the waste produced by our Downrigging Festival. Our goal is to significantly reduce, and eventually completely eliminate, trash sent to landfills as a result of the festival. All food service vendors use compostable dishware and flatware for food/drink and volunteers will be spread throughout the Festival to ensure that attendees know how to properly dispose of recycling and compost. We ask that attendees please refrain from bringing anything to the festival that you can't take with when you leave or that cannot be composted. Visitors to the Festival Village are encouraged to bring their own reusable drink containers (empty when you arrive, please).
