Join us rain or shine!  Free and open to the public

Join members and friends of Maine’s First Ship on Saturday, May 10, 2025 in the boatyard outside the Bath Freight Shed for our second annual Maypole Celebration. We are also celebrating the return of the pinnace Virginia to Bath. In the case of rain, the dancing will be inside the freight shed.

11am:  Musicians Sharon Pyne and Kaity Newell and friends will arrive and potential fairies (the public) will gather at the freight shed. For those without festive garb, volunteers will help to create costumes from provided components.

Noon: The wild rumpus will begin with a procession around the yard ending up at the maypole. Fairy wranglers will help get the little ones going in the right direction.

1pm: Lemonade and cookies will be provided to refresh the dancers and entourage.
