Launch! A Maritme Festival

The King's Port Inn would like to inform our guests and friends of an upcoming Maritime Festival called "Launch!". Sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, the event will celebrate the community's rich maritime history. It starts on Friday, June 17th, and ends on Sunday, June 19th. It will feature fresh local seafood, nautical history and many activities located throughout town. Here's a sample of some of the events:
Captain's Cook-Off: Local chefs will turn Maine ingredients into gourmet food, and a winner will be crowned. The contest is open to all, and awards will be presented for the best chowdah, blueberry dessert, and maple dish. Those who don't want to cook can taste all the entries and vote for the winners.
Rock the Boat: A special VIP after-party which will feature live music, a champagne toast, creative cocktails and small bites of delicious food on board one of our local vessels. It will take place on Saturday night, from 8-11pm.
River Lights Boat Parade: A boat parade featuring sparkling lights and fun decorations! Taking place Saturday night, after sunset.
Lobster Bake: Lobster served on red and white tablecloths, along with corn and blueberry pie, all eaten along our working waterfront. Fun for the whole family. From 4-7pm on Saturday.
There will many other special events taking place that weekend. Please contact the Kennebunkport Chamber of Commerce at 207-967-0857. Or, e-mail them at members@gokennebunks.com.
