One of the best things about New England and Maine is summer. There are so many events and festivals that it can be hard to choose. One thing is for sure though, if you are coming to midcoast Maine from out of town, be sure to take in at least one local event, and RESERVE your lodging early! There are far more visitors in the summer than there are nice places to stay. Check back again as I get word on more midcoast Maine summer events: some of my favorites include Bath's Heritage Days, and Rockland's Maine Lobster Festival. For more events all over Maine visit the Maine Office of Tourism.
