Winter Harbor Lobster Festival a no-go, but fireworks and boat races will happen
WINTER HARBOR For the second year in a row, the Winter Harbor Lobster Festival will not officially happen in August due to the ongoing pandemic, but tourists and townspeople will still be able to enjoy the annual lobster boat races and fireworks.
Those two activities “have always been separate and independent” of the town-sanctioned festival, Town Manager Cathy Carruthers explained. The races and fireworks are sponsored by D.C. Air & Seafood, which is owned by Selectman Christopher Byers.
The unanimous decision to not officially hold the festival was made following discussion at the Board of Selectmen’s May 10 meeting.
