The Noyo Harbor District is thrilled to announce the 3rd annual Harbor Festival! We are switching things up this year, and the festival will focus on locally caught sustainable seafood, our maritime heritage and PIRATES! This year’s festival falls on International Pirate Day! Come on down and help us celebrate all things Noyo Harbor.
