RACE on Sunday, July 27th, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. just
to mention a few of the many activities throughout
the community.
Last year's festival was a huge success, thanks to
the volunteers and businesses which supported the
CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP programs. The events attracted
crowds of over 20,000 people on Friday and Saturday
nights and it more than 10,000 people watched the
Finish at Departure Bay of the 42nd running of the
“Great” INTERNATIONAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
BATHTUB RACE on Sunday morning and then enjoyed the
other planned activities all day long making the Nanaimo
Marine Festival a memorable one.
No other festival or organization in Nanaimo has ever
matched the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BATHTUB RACE &
Nanaimo Marine Festival's success in providing international
recognition and world wide attention for the City
of Nanaimo as well as providing world class entertainment
for the citizens and tourists alike and an affordable
advertising opportunity for Nanaimo businesses.
With the Nanaimo Marine Festival receiving no financial
assistance from the City of Nanaimo, the Loyal Nanaimo
Bathtub Society relies very heavily on the CORPORATE
MEMBERSHIP program to assist with the operating cost
of putting on the festival each year. Please take
the time and fill in the attached membership form
and send it along with your cheque for $150.00 as
soon as
possible to be involved in our advertising and promotion
packages and to receive your 2009 CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP
wall plaque and Bathtub Race Poster as well as recognition
in the Marine Festival Program.

Marine Festival. If you have any special talents,
