Two exciting new events will join the line-up alongside many longtime favorite activities during the 60th annual Windjammer Days this summer.

Harbor Aglow - a celebration of lights, will bring joy to the harbor on Sunday, June 26. Boat owners are invited to participate and compete for cash, prizes and bragging rights by lighting up their boats for all to enjoy.

In addition to the traditional parade around the harbor, boat owners can join in the festivities right from their slip or mooring by lighting up from 8:30-10 p.m. The parade will begin at 9 p.m.

Adding incredible lighting to the harbor will be Tall Ships Oliver Hazard Perry and Thomas E. Lannon. The dockmaster who gets the most boats in their marina to light up is eligible for a $100 prize!

The Shipyard at Bristol Marine in Boothbay Harbor will be hosting an Antique Boat Parade Pier Party on Thursday, June 30 from 4:30 - 7 p.m. following the Antique Boat Parade, a perennial crowd favorite.
