Labor Day Weekend marks the traditional seasonal Camden celebration for the windjammer fleet and this year promises another robust gathering full of events on the waterfront and downtown.

Festivities with the Camden Windjammer Festival begin Aug. 29, when Penobscot Bay schooners sail into Camden Harbor from 1 to 4 p.m., with captains carefully tucking their vessels into Camden's Inner Harbor. It is feat of skill as the schooners navigate the tight channels, and crews extend joyous welcomes to each other across the bows.

Capt. Jim Sharp will be narrating each vessel's history, lineage, type, and a bit about captains and crew. In lieu of fireworks there will be a live music under the Rotary tent Friday evening Dance the night away to Creatures of Habit.

A full day of fun kicks off Saturday with live music, maritime exhibits, food vendors, local artists, children's activities, lobster crate race... this weekend has something for everyone. See the full schedule here.
