Boothbay Harbor Windjammer Days Coming Up June 25-July 1; Your Complete List Of What’s Going On
From pancake breakfasts, tug of war competitions, to watching the Windjammers arrive in the Harbor, to a great fireworks show and a huge street parade, there is something for young and old alike to enjoy during Windjammer Days in Boothbay Harbor.
Boothbay has always been a popular destination for people in Central Maine. Depending on traffic, it's about an hour from Waterville and even less from Augusta. And from someone who has spent numerous summers in Boothbay, Windjammer Days seems to always be the unofficial kick off to the summer season.
Here is the complete lineup of activities for this years Windjammer Days celebration, courtesy of the Boothbay Chamber of Commerce.
