There is nothing more uniquely Maine than a day at the Harpswell Lobster Boat Races!
For nearly 30 years, the Harpswell Lobster Boat Races have attracted fishermen, boat builders, and race fans alike due to the venue’s extreme beauty and fun, family atmosphere.
A shortage of volunteer support forced Harpswell to put the races on hiatus for a few years...until this Summer!!
Mark your calendar for July 29, 2018 (Rain Date Aug 5) because the townspeople of Harpswell, Maine have come together to rejoin Maine’s summer lobster boat racing circuit.
get involved
The Harpswell Lobster Boat Races is open to anyone who would like to volunteer their time and talent to this event.
Anyone interested in volunteering should call Larry Ward at 207-798-1725, send an email to harpswellboatraces@gmail.com, or send a message to the Committee via its Facebook page at facebook.com/harpswellboatraces.
Thank You 2018 Race Sponsors
