One of the best things to do during your Newagen Seaside Inn getaway is to spend time on the open water. Perhaps one of the most quintessential Maine activities is sailing, and there are several local charters that can take you out on the open water. Celebrate all things sailing and Maine’s maritime past by planning your visit to coincide with Windjammer Days in Boothbay Harbor.
What to Know about the Maine Festival
Every year, Windjammer Days helps celebrate the return of summer to the Boothbay Region. The week-long festival generally takes place around June or July throughout downtown Boothbay Harbor. Not only is this event a chance to support local businesses, but it is also a way to honor the region’s maritime past and its role in the lives of those who live here.
The schedule is jam-packed with countless activities that appeal to both kids and adults. Popular events include:
– Harbor Aglow: A parade featuring boats covered in lights that circle the harbor
– Gathering of the Fleet: Windjammers gather off Cabbage Island before marking their way into Boothbay Harbor
– Vintage Boat Parade & Pier Party: Witness a fleet of vintage boats cruise around the harbor
– Boat tours: Several local companies take festival attendees out on memorable excursions
– Artist’s Alley: Wander the booths of local artists and crafters to see what you can find
The schedule adjusts yearly, so check the website for the most up-to-date information. Some events are free, while others require reservations or tickets.
