Harbourfest Brings Sails & Soldiers to Port Stanley

8/21/2012

The St. Lawrence II Brigantine Ship sailed into Port Stanley and General Brock (aka Bob Rennie) arrived, along with the Kings Company and the Royal Scots re-enactors, in honour of the 200th Anniversary of the War of 1812. Midway rides, face painters and food vendors filled the area backing onto the Dominion of Canada building. A successful Harbourfest in Port Stanley from August 17th to 19th truly seemed to offer something for everyone.

See photos from the opening, cruising and skirmishes on the beach in our Harbourfest Photo Feature.
