| Welcome to the official page of the Titanic Festival 2012 in Watkins Glen, NY |
| April 10 - 15, 1912 … the voyage of Titanic! April 13 - 15, 2012 … a three-day event to respect, remember and reflect upon those who sailed on the iconic liner and to honor Elizabeth Barrett Rothschild, a Watkins Glen native and Titanic survivor, as well as other local families whose lives were impacted on that fateful day in 1912.. A steadfast group of area aficionados, dedicated to memorializing and remembering Titanic, has planned a three-day slate of activities that will reflect upon the most famous of ocean voyages. The Festival Committee is now soliciting sponorships from area companies and businesses so that a full slate of activities can fill the three days. Current plans call for Titanic Exhibits at the Watkins Glen Community Center, a Titanic Film Festival at the Glen Theater, and a Titanic Festival Tour of the Rothschild property and mausoleum. A Gala Banquet at Watkins Glen’s Harbor Hotel will be Saturday’s highlight. Sunday will offer an All Faith Church Service, a final and appropriate conclusion to a weekend filled with remembrances and historical reflections. To date (April, 2011) we have secured sponsorship to hold the gala banquet at the Watkins Glen Habor Hotel. The Titanic Banquet presented by Glenora Wine Cellars will be held on Saturday evening, April 14, 2012 - 100 years to the day that the last meals were served on Titanic. More information on this banquet can be seen here. Appropriately, the Schuyler County Historical Society will be the beneficiary of all proceeds of the Festival. We hope that, in the end, those proceeds will be generous, but to move forward with our plan we do need Festival sponsors. Please visit this page in the coming weeks and months for many more updates. |
