General Information

July 4th is always a fun time at the Sailing Pavilion. MITNA members and their families are once again invited to join us grilling and watching the fireworks. The grills will be fired up around 4 PM and the fireworks show gets going at about 10:30. Please do not show up at the last moment. All MITNA members are strongly urged to arrive before 7 pm. Things get quite crowded and the capacity limit on the building is less than the number of people who wish to get in. Once capacity is reached Campus Police will close the doors and no more people will be able to come in.

Please bring a blanket to sit on as beach chairs tend to be awkward to step around. Pre-cook your chicken or pork so you are not accused of being a selfish grille hog. Our staff would love to allow you to sail until sunset but, it all depends on the orders we receive from the state police. 

Requirements: Current Sailing Card

No registration needed, but to Join us on the 3rd you must have a current MITNA Sailing Card obtained before 3pm on the 3rd of July (that means previously printed at the Pavilion, pending online requests are not valid). To obtain a sailing card fill out the online request and go to the pavilion before the 4th of July to have it printed. 

No sailing cards will be issued after 3pm on July 3rd.

Please contact the dockmaster if you have questions about acquiring a current sailing card.

Guest Policy

Our guest policy on the 4th will be the same as it has been for the past few years. Please don't ask us to make exceptions. Each current MITNA member may bring one adult guest for free. Children are always free. Your second adult guest will pay $10. Your third adult guest will pay $20. Your fourth adult guest will pay $30, etc. Checks may be made payable to the MIT Sailing Pavilion; we expect to accept credit cards at the door.
