Stonington Fishermen’s Day is a great chance to get a glimpse of an authentic Maine lobstering village honoring its fishing heritage. The 2018 Stonington Fishermen’s Day will take place July 15th. As always, this coastal Maine festival is open to the public. Fishermen’s Day runs from 10am to 4pm and the schedule includes several events which are unique to Downeast Maine coastal celebrations, including a wacky row boat race and a cod fish relay race. There will also be a trap hauling demonstration where visitors can see how lobsters are caught. The festival features many local artisans, vendors, and local seafood is always on sale. While the date of the 2018 Stonington Fishermen’s Day has been set, the schedule is not yet finalised. I will publish the schedule once ready and, in the meantime, below is the schedule from the 2017 Stonington Fishermen’s Day.
