Description

Explore the shoreline habitats of Mowry Beach, then tour the easternmost craft beer brewery in the US.

Mowry Beach is an uncommon and beautiful example of sandy beach in the region. Proceeding along an all-accessible beach and marshland boardwalk, we’ll search for shorebirds, warblers, gulls, and more.

Afterward, we are invited to drive or stroll a few blocks to the Lubec Brewing Company in picturesque downtown Lubec. Owners Gale and McGinley will give us a firsthand look at this bustling local business with a special tour and tasting.

The Festival event ends at 6, but you might decide to linger on for drinks and dinner with live music, or try one of the other popular eating places in the scenic harbor area.
