Community & Events

Few foods say coastal Maine better than salmon and seafood - and few festivals serve up either food better than the Eastport Salmon and Seafood Festival.

The largest pirate festival in New England and the Maritimes is returning to Eastport on Friday, September 6, and continuing through to Sunday, September 8.

The time consuming and costly business of receiving medical care in Boston or locations even farther from Downeast is being ameliorated by the goodwill of pilots around the country and the coordination of nonprofit organizations.

Eastport's Old Home Week lived up to its name this July as hundreds of families welcomed returning loved ones back to the community.

A local woman who made her mark in history for her service in the Women's Army Corps (WAC) recently had the "trip of a lifetime" to Washington, D.C., where she was chosen to lay the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as part of an Honor Flight excursion.

The streets of Eastport were filled with joyous throngs in celebration of Old Home Week, culminating in an enthusiastic turnout on July 4 for the Grand Independence Day Parade capped off by a luminous fireworks display.
