Upcoming Maine Festivals & Events
- : Jun 25 thru Jul 01 - Boothbay Harbor - Annual Windjammer Days - Boothbay Harbor - Festivals in Maine
The Windjammer Days Festival celebrates and honors a time before there were planes, trains, and automobiles and sailing ships were the best way to travel the world or transport goods long distances. Windjammers were the grandest of the merchant ships from the era, enormous sailing boats with several large masts designed to carry massive amounts of cargo from one continent to another. For centuries, the Boothbay Harbor Region has been a center of American shipping and shipbuilding, its harbor graced by elegant Windjammers as well as other commercial pleasure ships. Participate in a grand sail parade through picturesque Boothbay Harbor. Extra time ashore to explore the town and enjoy concerts, crafts, street parade, music and more. Fireworks!
