"Smithfield and Isle of Wight County are thrilled and proud to be a participating Sail Virginia℠ 2026 Affiliate Harbor.  We anticipate a tremendous amount of interest and engagement in our Smithfield Maritime Rendezvous event that will take place on the historic banks of the Pagan River in June 2026. The experience will include the pageantry of traditional Chesapeake Bay watercraft, local work boats and unique pleasure crafts; a VIP onboard reception; a Boardwalk Maritime Art Show; and an old-fashioned home-made raft race,” said Judy Winslow, Director of Tourism for Smithfield & Isle of Wight County & the Affiliate Harbor Event Coordinator. “We hope visitors will make an entire weekend out of their stay to be able to enjoy the Rendezvous event as well as taking in all of the other outdoor, culinary and cultural activities that make Smithfield, VA a popular destination for boating enthusiasts of all ages.” The buyboat MILDRED BELLE and the skipjack SIGSBY will be attending the Smithfield Maritime Rendezvous.
