The evening will feature the premiere screening of two newly completed short films: CIRRUS: A Wooden Boat Story and steward•ship: a love letter to the maine coast, as well as live music, light refreshments, boat viewing, exhibits, and a live and silent auction.

Guests will also see familiar Brooklin residents on screen, including Maynard Bray, Jon Wilson, Steve White, and others whose lives and work reflect the town’s deep maritime heritage and enduring community spirit. Filmmakers Ken Murphy, Durier Ryan, and Luc Milam will be in attendance to meet guests and share more about the stories behind the films.

Celebrate Brooklin is free and open to all, with no RSVP required. The event will be held rain or shine.

The event is presented by Friend Memorial Public Library in support of its Capital Campaign, which will preserve and expand the historic Library building and help establish the future Anne and Maynard Bray Maritime Research Center. The Center will house one of the nation’s most important private collections of materials and photographs documenting wooden boat and ship design, construction, operation, and history.
