The 85th Brunswick Blessing of the Fleet set for Saturday
Blessing the shrimp boat fleet annually is more than just a reason to host a festival. It’s a time-honored tradition brought to Brunswick by Portuguese immigrants. Jennifer Sullivan, events and marketing coordinator for the Brunswick Downtown Development Authority, said it was important when she took over planning the event a few years ago that the festival recognize that heritage.
