Hi Festival friends,

Today at noon will be our final info session for March.  The next ones will be April 12-14.  Here's the Zoom link if you can join today:

Passcode 097008

We have a great line up of participating organizations. Now that our February 28 deadline for guaranteed tables has passed, we're still accepting applications from non-profit and governmental organizations that want to be a part of the Festival, but on a "space available" basis. We still have a few tables and tent space left.

A fun new Festival activity that we've added is a scavenger hunt!  After the All Species Parade, everyone who has dressed up and taken part will get a goody bag with a $10 gift certificate to Wild Oats Bakery and a scavenger hunt card.  This will encourage people to explore the whole Festival, indoors and outdoors, and talk to other people to solve clues to find knowledge and prizes.

We'll be updating our website and sending out an info packet to all participants soon to share the latest version of our Festival Program:

9:00 am - Farmers Market starts
10:00 am - Opening Bell for the Festival
10:05 am - Kelly Punch of Mere Point Oyster Co will talk about the Brunswick Coastal Clean Up, the biggest Earth Day activity in the Brunswick area in recent years

11:30 am - Nature Hike from the Festival to the Bowdoin Pines and back
Noon - Farmers Market ends
