Admission is free.
The ferry between Norfolk's Harborfest and Portsmouth's Seawall Festival will be running constantly throughout the entire weekend. The ferry can be accessed from Waterside in Norfolk and from the High Street landing in Portsmouth. Peninsula residents can use the HarborLink ferry to travel from Hampton to Norfolk for the festivals. It takes a lot of planning, and that's what the folks at Norfolk Festevents have done in setting up this year's Harborfest, the 25th annual edition of the waterfront festival that will draw hundreds of thousands of guests this weekend. And right across the water, easily accessible by ferry, is Portsmouth's Seawall Festival.
