Hull Harbor Illumination
Saturday, July 30, 4pm - 9pm

 

Remembering, Honoring, Celebrating
It happens only one night a year... The magical, mysteriously meaningful Harbor Illumination. The celebration begins at the museum at 4 pm in the afternoon, with tours of Simple Machines and Breeches Buoy Reenactments. At 6 pm in the evening, we gather at Hull Cemetery, accompanied by the Point Allerton Coast Guard Color Guard, to honor Joshua James, and place flags at all graves of the Mass Humane Society, US Life-Saving Service, and USCG personnel. at 7 pm, flare-lighters begin to array themselves around the lovely crescent of Hull Bay, from the Spinnaker Island Bridge to A Street. And, at sunset, the magic begins - darkness broken by pinpoints of light, silence filled with the reedy evocative tones of the bagpipe.

The flares help us Honor, Celebrate, and Remember. Some people's flares honor a beloved parent, others a place of great meaning, and some just shout Yes! to the night, a silent saslute to this moment of collective beauty we all create together.

Flares cost $10 apiece. They can be purchased at the museum or online. Volunteers are needed for all aspects of the event.

Harbor Illumination Schedule:
4 pm - Tours and Breeches Buoy Reenactments
6 pm - Hull Cemetery Commemoration
7 pm - Flares distributed to lighting groups
8:30 pm - ILLUMINATION!

Food carts, offering snacks and meals, will be at HLM all afternoon and evening. Come, make an evening of it:  Celebrate Hull, Celebrate Summer, Celebrate Being Alive!

Boston Rowing Center Spring Festival
Saturday, June 18, 10 am - 3 pm
at the Barking Crab Restaurant, Fort Point Channel, Boston
Free Admission
Please join us for a land and water festival at HLM's Boston Rowing Center on Fort Point Channel in downtown Boston. Youth rowers from our Boston and South Shore programs will come together for the final race of the year at 10:30 am, and will then teach their skills to parents, friends, families, and YOU! (The only requirement - a sense of humor!) This is a family-friendly event, with hands-on activities for all ages; learn to row, try your luck at nautical-themed competitions on shore, or simply enjoy casual food and music and the magic of the Channel.
