Our annual Chowder Social is the Foss Waterway Seaport's only in-person fundraising event. This year, we are celebrating the 125th Anniversary of the Balfour Dock Building, our cherished home and registered historic landmark. This event is for folks 21+ only.
This year, we will be introducing new community events and making some significant updates to the Esplanade, plus adding a much-needed commercial pump-out station on the Dock. Most of all, we are celebrating the 125th Anniversary of the home of the Foss Waterway Seaport, the Balfour Dock Building and offering FREE admission to the maritime museum for everyone! We will also expand our partnerships and programs to preserve our maritime heritage for future generations. Your support will ensure that we can continue to serve our community for years to come. Together, we can chart a brighter future for the Seaport and our surrounding communities.
