Moosabec Reach Lobster Boat Races are a speed extravaganza
Historically, the Moosabec Reach Lobster Boat Races have been held, in most years at least, on July 4, timed to coincide with Jonesport’s holiday festivities.

Because the holiday falls on Wednesday this year, the races were shifted to Saturday, with astounding results.
