Why limit your Juneau Maritime Festival activities to the shore? Join us on May 3rd and get out on the water with one of our Harbor Cruises! Enjoy the live entertainment of your choice and a no-host bar featuring beer, wine, a limited alcohol selection as well as Allen Marine Tours’ classic “Glacier-itas”. There will also be complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available, all while you tour around beautiful downtown Juneau’s surrounding waterways!

Join Juneau Public Librarians in singing silly sailing songs and sharing superb sailor stories as we sail our southeastern seas. Simple yet satisfying craft will be supplied.
Trip 2: 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm – Environmental Cruise hosted by Alaska Department of Fish & Game biologist Barb Lake
Join ADF&G marine biologist Barb Lake on a cruise through Gastineau Channel in search of seals, sea lions, porpoises, and whales.

Along the way, discover the rich human history of Juneau and Douglas Island by the marks left on the landscape to this day.
Trip 3: 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm – Live Music Cruise hosted by singer-songwriter Quinton Woolman-Morgan
Quinton Woolman-Morgan was born and raised in the foothills of the Cascades just north of Seattle Washington. He now resides in Juneau Alaska. Q’s first release was in January of 2022. All music was written in the wilds of somewhere else. You can listen to his music on Spotify by clicking here.
Trip 4: 4:30 pm – 5:15 pm – Live Music Cruise hosted by the Juneau Lyric Opera – BEER CHOIR
Join the choir that sings while drinking beer! Encouraged by our song leaders, you’ll BECOME the choir that sings while drinking beer.
Grab a Beer Choir “Hymnal”—the songbook that will guide the festivities—and a pint and get ready to join in on traditional drinking songs, popular tunes, hymns, and choruses. You don’t need to love choral music, or even sing well, to enjoy Beer Choir—all you need to do is show up!
