The Maine Seaweed Festival will be held at the beautiful waterfront campus of Southern Maine Community College on Saturday, August 29, 2015. Full details here: http://www.seaweedfest.com/

The Festival runs from 10 am to 5 pm, followed by our ticketed dinner, The Full Moon Fishery Feast (http://www.seaweedfest.com/the-seaweed-festival-dinner).

Maine seaweeds are beginning to play a major role in the growth and sustainability of our local economy and global health. The Maine Seaweed Festival aims to highlight the diverse uses and benefits of seaweed, while celebrating all of the dedicated harvesters, farmers, fishermen and processors who continue to invest their efforts in creating a viable and vibrant seaweed industry here in Maine.

Seaweed Fest will feature local artists, entertainment, and vendors who are using Maine seaweeds in their craft. The day will include educational speakers, many activities for children of all ages, live music and food trucks.

Ride the wave of our fisheries’ future, while honoring our past. Come be inspired to make seaweed a daily addition to your healthy lifestyle and support this natural resource's revival!
