Other fun in this packed weekend includes a treasure hunt for little pirates, the Cardboard Classic & Dingy Dash, Art Lessons in the Wild facilitated by marine muralist Wyland, marine mammal lectures, a community beach clean-up, and a kids fishing clinic and fishing trip. Bands perform on a specially designed stage for the Concert on the Water. Some activities require ticket purchase.
