Opinion: Festival shows what cruise-free Saturdays could be like

This is a great example of what could be if we had ship-free Saturdays…

Thank you Juneau Economic Development Council for a well-organized and well-attended Maritime Festival.

This is a great example of what could be if we had ship-free Saturdays, as recommended by the Visitor Task Force and Juneau Cruise Control.
