Children and adults will be amazed at the Maine Sail Freight Family Sail Festival on Tuesday, August 11 from 4:00 to 8:30 pm. Billed as a “peaceful armada for regional food and farming economy”, there will be a bit of everything for everyone to enjoy, including a scavenger hunt, a lesson on river trade, sailing of a small fleet of traditional Norse wooden-boats, singing, and more. Meet the sailors! Touch the boats! Learn and sing sea shanties!

Maine Sail Freight is a project of The Greenhorns, a a non-traditional grassroots non-profit organization made up of young farmers and a diversity of collaborators with a commitment to the rebuilding of rural economies through sustainable agriculture, small business entrepreneurship, and teamwork.
