Fun from dawn to dusk at Winter Harbor Lobster Festival
What’s not to love about the annual Winter Harbor Lobster Races and Lobster Festival? The full day of events starts at 6 a.m. and doesn’t end until nightfall. This year marks the 59th year the seaside village hosts both summertime traditions. Last year, the lobster boat races drew 97 working and non-working boats across 29 races. They start at 10 a.m. in Henry’s Cove at the end of Harbor Road and will continue until all race classes are completed. To watch from land, try Frazer Point or Schoodic Point. The awards presentation follows near the dock, and the Black Sheep food truck will be close by for hungry race watchers and boat crews. But first, and keeping with festival traditions, the day starts early with a blueberry pancake breakfast at 6 a.m. at the Masonic Temple on School Street. Late risers need not worry as breakfast runs through 11 a.m. >click to read< 07:50
