A marine festival was deemed appropriate. It was always intended to be an annual event. Every year, the festival takes place on the first weekend of August. Here are some of our upcoming dates:.
The Maine lobster and Maine lobstermen were told that it was high time they took their place. The Camden-Rockport Lobster Festival, conceived on this basis, was the logical festival type for the area.
A non-profit organisation called the Camden Rockport Lobster Festival Inc., was created after this decision. The Maine Coast Sea Food Corporation's Earl Fuller was its president. Clinton Lunt, the Camden Shipbuilding and Marine Railway Co.'s vice president; E. Hamilton Hall of The Camden Herald; and Henry S. Bickford, the treasurer and director were the other members of the board.
From the first festival, an executive committee has been formed to advise and work with the group. This continues today. Maine Lobster Festival's success and organization depends on a dedicated Board of Directors. These volunteers are from the local area, and they work all year long to take care of thousands of details. Festival Corporation is non-profit. Since 2005, a new level of membership has been created for individuals. The Board of Directors is responsible for opening the festival gates, even though nearly 1,300 local citizens give their time to the Lobster Festival each year. The planning for the next event begins as soon as the doors close on this year's festival.
