Sadly, the weather is not being cooperative at all for this weekend's Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival and they've had to scale back plans. But don't give up! They're still offering lots of great music, all under cover! They'll no longer use the Warner House as a venue, but we hope everyone can join them in their new spots, once they're confirmed.

THE FESTIVAL IS STILL ON (BUT SCALED BACK!) THE FREE TICKET GATE FOR SATURDAY EVENING'S CONCERT IS OPEN! Reserve your seat for the Saturday evening concert! https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/portsmouth-maritime-folk-festival-2026-saturday-evening-concert

Join us for the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival (PMFF) Free Saturday Evening Concert in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 7:00 pm at North Church in Market Square, Portsmouth, NH, USA.

We have a fantastic lineup of performers! Find out more about them here: pmffest.org/2026-festival/

Join us for the whole (SCALED BACK) festival! From Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon, maritime performers will perform at two indoor venues (one of which will have a livestream option) Enjoy sea chanteys and forebitters—songs once used by sailors for work, relaxation, and amusement. The weekend includes featured performers, the PMFF Maritime Songwriting Contest winners, a Saturday evening concert, and Sunday afternoon’s big Chantey Blast, where everyone is invited to sing along with all of the festival performers. Need to look at a schedule to know what's happening when and where? WE'LL BE UPDATING THE GRID TO SHOW ONLY TWO INDOOR VENUES! https://bit.ly/PMFFGrid26

This venerable nonprofit maritime folk festival is free, volunteer-run, and funded entirely by donations. Could you please help us out? Donate here: pmffest.org/donate/

We're still in need of a few volunteers! Great perks for volunteering!! Check it out: https://bit.ly/PMFF-VOLUNTEER

Don't miss your chance to take the tour before the end of the season - we still have room for about 6 more people!

Grateful to be included in Worldatlas.com's list of great walkable New England cities as a thing to do in Portsmouth!

Walking around the downtowns of New England's small towns is a great way to experience community, culture, and simply have a good time.
