WELCOME TO THE 39TH ANNUAL

NORFOLK HARBORFEST® 2015

THE HISTORY OF NORFOLK HARBORFEST®

It began almost 40 years ago when the Norwegian Tall Ship Christian Radich came to call on Norfolk, a waterfront community that had no city-owned property on which to dock a ship. The ship was docked three blocks from Town Point at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and 13,000 people crossed her gangway in just one and a half days. Over the next two years, City planners and leaders created berthing to accommodate more ships, and a waterfront public park was planned. Norfolk Harborfest® was born. Today, tall ships from all over the world frequently call on the City of Norfolk and nearly half a million visitors gather on the downtown waterfront each year for this annual celebration of our region’s rich nautical heritage. The traditions of the East Coast’s Premier Waterfront Festival are celebrated with nautical history, maritime events, visiting vessels, children’s activities, local, regional and national entertainment. Festivities stretch from The Waterside Festival Marketplace to the Historic Freemason Harbor.

Be sure to come back on Sunday, June 7 12:30pm to witness the power (450 Horsepower) of these boats as they race down the Elizabeth River.

US Navy Reserve Centennial CommemorationThe Navy Reserve celebrated 100 years of service this past March 3, 2015. Looking back, the Navy Reserve has served in every conflict since World War I. The Navy Reserve contributed 84 percent of the Navy’s manpower during World War II operations and continues to provide support across the world. More than 52,000 Navy Reserve Sailors have been mobilized and deployed to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan, including more than 8,000 Navy Reserve Sailors who have done a second combat tour in overseas hostile locations. Today, at least 20,000 Navy Reserve Sailors, or about one third of the Navy’s Reserve Component, are providing fully integrated global operational support to all numbered Fleet and Combatant Commanders. The Navy Reserve Centennial Commemoration (NRCC) provides an opportunity to highlight and reflect back on the Navy Reserve’s extraordinary Sailors past and present. Our rare milestone allows us also to bring attention to the American public about the value of the Navy Reserve Citizen Sailors and serves to also thank our employers and our families for their support of the Navy Reserve.

Crossing the BarSunset and evening star,

And one clear call for me!And may there be no moaning of the bar,

When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,Too full for sound and foam,

When that which drew from out the boundless deepTurns again for home.

Twilight and evening bell,And after that the dark!

And may there be no sadness or farewell,When I embark;

For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and PlaceThe flood may bear me far,

I hope to see my Pilot face to faceWhen I have crost the bar

-Lord Alfred Tennyson
