Visitors' Day and "Missed the Boat"

Tuesday, August 15 and Wednesday, August 16

Boston Harbor Scottish Fiddle School

Visitors' Day is a unique opportunity to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings of Boston's Thompson Island, part of the Harbor Islands National Recreation Area, and at the same time, enjoy a full afternoon and evening of activities with the teachers and students of the 15th Boston Harbor Scottish Fiddle School!

ANOTHER OPTION!  Did you "Miss the Boat" at the end of Visitors' Day?  No need to start swimming back to shore - stay overnight and through lunch on Wednesday with this new opportunity!  For an additional fee you can stay on the island - participate in the late night sessions after the rest of the visitors have gone back o'er the water, spend the night in your own private room, audit classes in the morning, enjoy breakfast and lunch with your island buddies, and catch an afternoon boat back to reality on Wednesday.
