BOOTHBAY HARBOR—The 56th edition
Windjammer Days Festival will feature a new look at what previously was called the parade of sail. The festival will run from Sunday,
June 24 to Saturday, June 30. This year, on Wednesday from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., drones will stream live video to jumbo (10' H x 12' W) LED screen in Whale Park, as an announcer narrates the “Gathering of the Fleet.” For those who will want to see the gathering from the water, there will be plenty of boat tours available. The “Gathering of the Fleet” is just one
of the innovations on this year’s festival cal- endar. Another is the fi rst Crab Cake Cook- off with chefs from Boothbay Harbor. The fi rst 20 guests will receive a wristband and get to participate in the “people’s judgment.” Cash donations at the cook-off will support the festival. The Linekin Bay Resort, a popular
Boothbay Harbor venue, will be putting on a tasting event on Monday, June 25th
. The Miss Windjammer Pageant is mor-
phing into “Windjammers Got Talent.” Boys and girls will compete. Artist Alley will be back and will feature live music on Friday afternoon of Festival Week. Across the harbor tug-of-war will hap-
pen at a special time, due to the tides. It will take place on Saturday at 2:30. Other exciting events include fi reworks
on Wednesday night, the lighted boat parade on Saturday night and the street parade on Wednesday afternoon. Times and more de- tails for all Windjammer Days events can be found at windjammer
days.org. Windjammer Days is the fi rst major
event of the tourist season, and it represents both a chance for visitors to enjoy what this seaside community has to off er and the op- portunity for businesses to benefi t from the crowds. The crowds over the week number i n the tens of thousands. “We welcome lots of old and new faces
to Boothbay Harbor,” said Peter Ripley, president of Friends of Windjammer Days, the group that organizes the festival. “And because of the support of the business com- munity, most Windjammer Days events are free.”
Windjammer Days 2018 is presented
