More than 50 vendors will be taking part in the first St George’s Marine Expo tomorrow.

The event at Ordnance Island and Kings Square will include activities on the water and on land, such as tours conducted by the Bermuda Institute Ocean Sciences research vessel and taster sailing experiences for children.

Vendors include boat dealers, marine accessories and service providers, government and environmental agencies, water sports organisations, food and children’s activities.

The Olde Towne Market on Water Street will also be launched for 2016.
