Twelve artists have spent six weeks painting the walls of the old ferry terminal, creating a mural more than 200 metres long that tells the story of the harbour.
The work, paid for by local businesses, was unveiled on Saturday with music and a parade of boats.
Critics have praised the programme for mixing well-known names with new local talent.
A family day with free workshops for children will be held on the first Sunday of next month.
