Downeast Magazine has just named Boothbay Harbor one of the top 10 prettiest towns in Maine. In fact we came in second. We're really proud of that.

AT THE GARDENS


There's a lot to see at the Boothbay Region Botanical Gardens in late summer and early fall. It's always dazzling. If you're in the area put it on your list.

"Claw Down" Chefs Competition

Join 13 local restaurants as their chefs vie for an award winning "Lobster Bite" in a blind judging competition with industry renounded judges. Enjoy savory lobster bites from participating chefs. You'll find the details at www.boothbayharbor.com Should be fun!

The Opera House at Boothbay Harbor


Lots of exciting acts coming to the Opera House this season. This fall includes country folk preformer Iris Dement on Sept. 1, and The Fighting Jamesons, a high energy Celtic group, on Sept. 22. Check out their schedule at www.boothbayoperahouse.com

SUMMER ON THE COAST OF MAINE

What could be more wonderful than summer on the coast of Maine. Scroll down our blog and see a few of the sights and activities The Boothbay Region has to offer.

4th of July

There will be big doings of the old fashiond kind here this 4th of July. A chicken bar-b-que and craft show on The Boothbay Common and spectacular fireworks over Boothbay Harbor. Walk around the Harbor with an ice cream cone in hand, check out the Arts and Craft Guild on the library lawn, or just sit on a bench and people watch. Hope you can be here because this kind of experience in a small New England town is something everyone should experience.

Windjammer Days


The Windjammer Days street parade was better than every this year. We had our own version of Flash Dance Mob preformed by about 30 local ladies to Dancin' In the Streets, Miss Shrimp Princess, great floats, clowns, kids, Shriners, bands, and bagpipers. Couldn't have been better.

NO, YOU AREN'T IN A NORMAN ROCKWELL PAINTING, BUT YOU'LL THINK YOU ARE

when you attend the Hallowell Band concert that is preformed on the lawn of the Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library every Thursday evening at 7:30 June through early Sept. Bring your own chair or blanket or sit on the stone wall and enjoy the music, from Sousa marches to Broadway show tunes. During the marches the kids line up for their chance to conduct the band. So get yourself an ice cream cone or a slice of pizza and enjoy an old fashioned evening.
