EASTPORT PIRATE FESTIVAL 2008
Last year was only the second time it was held… but it generated press coverage from one end of the country to the other and attracted thousands of people to the historic Island City of Eastport. It is a phenomenon known as The Eastport Pirate Festival… the largest event of its kind in Maine and the Maritimes.
The Third Annual Eastport Pirate Festival will be held September 5 & 6. With Salmon Sunday being held on September 7 we have a great line-up of two back-to-back events for a fun-filled and tasty Eastport Celebration. The Eastport Pirate Festival Committee looks forward to working with The Eastport Chamber of Commerce to cross promote and grow both events. We look forward to another great year of celebrating our maritime heritage and bringing thousands of visitors to our Island City of Eastport. The CruiseMaine Coalition in partnership with the Maine Port Authority and the communities of Bangor, Belfast, Boothbay Harbor, Bar Harbor, Bucksport, Camden, Eastport, Freeport, Kennebunk-Kennebunkport, Portland, Rockland and several Associate Members including Chase Leavitt & Co., Discover New England, Down East Magazine, FlyBangor, GetEtched, Maine & Co., Maine Office of Tourism, Maine Tourism Association, Maine Department of Transportation, Penobscot Bay & River Pilot’s Association, and the Washington County Commissioner’s Office works to promote these communities to the travel trade, travel media and cruise industry as attractive cruise destinations. We also provide the relative community and business support necessary for these areas to become and remain viable, productive cruise destinations while promoting cultural preservation and responsible tourism.
