Step Back in Time: 2024 Fall Fundraiser Speakeasy at the Essex Shipyard.

We’re excited to invite you to an unforgettable evening at the Essex Shipyard, where we’ll transform the space into a hidden, Prohibition-era speakeasy. Hidden barrooms will be waiting for you to explore, each offering a unique experience—from vibrant jazz lounges to cozy corners, there’s something to discover around every turn.

This event marks the start of our end-of-year fundraising campaign—a pivotal moment for us to secure the future of Essex’s rich maritime culture. Your investment is more than just a contribution. It’s a commitment to preserving centuries of shipbuilding craftsmanship, supporting hands-on educational programs, and ensuring the continued stewardship of the natural environment that shapes our coastal community. In recent years, we’ve experienced remarkable growth—expanding our programs, deepening community connections, and protecting more of our maritime heritage. With your support, we can continue this upward path, ensuring the legacy of Essex endures through innovative programs, stewardship efforts, and opportunities that inspire future generations of craftspeople and environmental stewards.
