ROCKLAND Two boat-related events that were slated in Rockland for the summer of 2020 are tentatively returning to the calendar for 2021, toned down, adapted, and reliant on State CDC recommendations. Spokespeople representing each event requested City support during the April 8 City Council meeting.
Rockland Bicentennial and windjammer anniversaries
“It was going to be a fantastic celebration of the maritime elements of Maine’s history, and in particular, Rockland’s role in that story,” said the organizing group’s spokesperson, Dan Bookham.
With a looming “go/no-go” date of June 1, organizers of Rockland’s Bicentennial group are again making plans for a potential Friday, July 2, celebration. Because of the waterfront location of the events, those plans of “what we feel we can do under the current guidelines,” said Bookham, are subject to review by the Harbor Management Committee. Org
