Kennebunkport Festival!

The King's Port Inn would like to wish everybody a happy June! It's hard to believe that summer is almost here and the weather is good! We hope you get out and enjoy some activities. We wanted to let you know about the 13th Annual Kennebunkport Festival, from June 5th through June 10th. It is the largest food and wine festival held in Maine. There will be world top chefs, fine wines, beautiful homes, acclaimed artists and the quintessential oceanfront charm of Kennebunkport. This is truly the start of summer!
The Kennebunkport Festival is organized and promoted by the staff of Maine Magazine. It is a pay festival, with events priced from as low as $15 for Maine Craft Music Festival(Brews and Tunes), cocktail parties at $45, to as much as $250 for exclusive Chef dinner at private mansions on the beach, and Wood Fired Maine at Vinegar Hill Music Theatre. But the seaside settings are arguably priceless and a portion of the proceeds go to a local Maine charity.
Some of the big parties at Kennebunkport Festival include the Friday night's Spirit of Maine party hosted by Azalea Events under a big tent by the Kennebunk River behind the Pilot House. This year's Spirit of Maine party has VIP ticket including an exclusive pre-party on Spirit of Massachusetts-a floating bar abroad a replica tallship schooner docked by the Pilot House.
Before and after each dinner party and throughout the Kennebunkport Festival week cocktail parties and after parties are held at local bars like One Dock,  The Colony, and Old Vines Wine Bar. The pre-dinner cocktails parties feature wine, a signature cocktails, appetizers and local music at $45 a head. On Thursday, there will be a cocktail party at Chick's marina hosted by Hinckley Yachts, where you can sip drinks on the dock amid beautiful boats made in Maine's Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island.
