Mary Ross Waterfront Park

The building at Mary Ross Waterfront Park

GIAHA manages this popular waterfront park on behalf of the City of Brunswick. Located on the East River off Bay Street in the historic downtown, the park contains a scale model of the Liberty Ship commemorating Brunswick's importance during World War II as a major manufacturer of these merchant vessels, an outdoor musical playscape, the Brunswick Bazaar and Farmers Market, a small building used for special events, and a stage area which plays host to a wide variety of festivals and concerts throughout the year, including the annual Brunswick Stewbilee (autumn), the Old-Fashioned 4th of July Celebration, and the Rhythm on the River outdoor concert series (spring and fall).

The park is available for rentals for weddings, festivals, concerts, and other events. Click here for more information and rental prices.
