Mystic -- Mystic Seaport Museum will hold its Riverfest celebration Saturday through Monday with three days of folk and sea music.

The event, which is geared toward a wider audience, replaces the long running Sea Music Festival which has been canceled.

“We continue to support and promote traditional and modern sea music from across the globe and to present it to as many visitors as possible. It may not be in the same format as people remember it but welcome to the first Riverfest and welcome to the new Mystic Seaport Museum,” said museum president Peter Armstrong.

The music starts Saturday at 10 a.m. with Geoffrey Kaufman, David Littlefield, and Joseph Morneault. Also on Saturday is the Ancient Mariners Chanteymen, a sub-group of the Ancient Mariners Fife and Drum Corps, and The Johnson Girls, an all-female a-cappella song group based in New York City. There will also be sea chanteys from 4 to 6 p.m. at Schaefer’s Spouter Tavern.

Among Sunday's performers are Cape Verdean musicians Ne Nas and Roy Tabwa as well as Celtic-American roots music group RUNA. On Monday, Indigenous Peoples’ Day, there will be indigenous music and dance. Other acts include Sharks Come Cruisin’, which plays a mix of sea chanteys and maritime music. A complete schedule of performers is at https://www.mysticseaport.org/riverfest/
