During a pleasant March weekend in Chicago I visited the 4th annual Maritime festival. A promising event that featured interesting displays, insightful lectures and workshops and of course a great array of international performers. It was an exhausting, but highly entertaining day of festivities and could easily become a major event.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby
