CMMFestival Annual Appeal:
Donate Today!


​Nearly 100 patrons, both on-line and in-person, attended the 2022 Chicago Maritime Museum Festival, "Discover the Connection” on October 27. Maritime folksinger Tom Kastle and maritime historian Patrick McBriarty co-hosted the event, which raised $80,000 for the museum.

The focus of this year’s festival was the connections between the region’s local waterways and the many growth facets of Chicago, including trade, sport, transportation, and engineering.

“CMM wishes to thank all who participated and donated this year,” says CMM Vice Chair Jerry Thomas. “With your contributions, we can continue to move forward with CMM’s exciting new plans for next year,”

​Guests, both virtual and in-person, enjoyed entertaining videos featuring the iconic Chicago River bridges, shanty songs from the Great Lakes and Captain Bill Pinkney’s visit to South Africa.  The new Donors Exhibit in the museum’s lobby was also unveiled.  In person guests who donated at least $1000 either this year or last, were wined and dined while touring the museum.

It's never too late to donate and be a part of CMM’s future.
