Pen Bay Pilot – The Camden Windjammer Festival, which features the largest gathering of windjammers in the northeast of the United States. The festival offers two days of family-friendly events, spirited competition and nautical exhibits, a combination that one can only experience on Labor Day Weekend in Camden.
Throughout the day Friday, a silent auction will be underway, with bidders vying to join the guests and crew for dinner aboard a handful of the Maine Windjammer Association vessels Friday night. The day’s schedule also includes radio-controlled boat races in the harbor, a lobster hauling demonstration, a downtown treasure hunt and a Camden walking tour with locals. The evening includes an outdoor concert and schooner talent show in Harbor Park, and culminates with fireworks over the harbor.
Entrance to the Camden Windjammer Festival is free, with generous financial and in-kind support from numerous businesses, organizations, and individual volunteers, in partnership with the town of Camden, which runs the event. The Fireworks, Talent Show and Crate Race are sponsored by Camden National Bank, Bay View Collection, Camden Area Business Group and Artisan Boatworks, with additional funding provided by The First Bank. Be sure to thank and show your support for all of those who contributed to this year’s event.
