Festivals in Boothbay

The wind fills her sails as the two-masted schooner, Stephen Taber, otherwise known as a windjammer, leans into a turn to starboard. The sun is hot, but her passengers take advantage of a strong sea breeze to read a book or have a cold beer as she heads towards the waterfront at Boothbay Harbor, Maine, to head the dramatic parade of sail. For this is Windjammer Days, a celebration of the age of sail, held annually the last week of June.
