Maine Festival That Should Not Be Missed!
Festivals
Our favorite is the Fourth of July in Castine when the whole town comes alive in an outdoor festival of activities. There is music on the waterfront, a costume parade, and traditional games on the common, such as: potato sack races, a town tug of war, and fireworks over the harbor after sunset. There is nothing better than Maine festivals!

The annual Common Ground Fair takes place usually the third weekend in September. This fair is organized by the Maine Organic Farmers and Growers Association and features organic produce, hand made products, livestock and music.
