It All Ends in Fairhaven.................. Ski to Sea weekend is here and the festivities have already begun with the Junior race last weekend. The Grand Parade is on Saturday, May 24th and the Race and Festival (did I say beer garden) on Sunday, May 25th, 2008.

The Old Fairhaven Association (OFA) sponsors and coordinates, with volunteers, the "It All Ends in Fairhaven" festival as an annual fundraiser to support the OFA's goals to preserve the historic district. Come to Fairhaven to enjoy the craft, food & non-profit vendors, see the racers at the finish line, admire the historic buildings and enjoy a beer in our beer garden featuring live music. Be sure to stop at the Information Booth sponsored by Fairhaven Realty to get your new "Green" Fairhaven Guide and walking tour maps.
