Harbor House Quietside Flamingo Festival July 12-14 [SCHEDULE]
One of my most favorite events takes place July 12-14 with the annual Harbor House Quietside Flamingo Festival in Southwest Harbor.
This year's theme is "Shake Your Tail Feathers, it's our Diamond Jubilee" as the Harbor House is celebrating their 60th year of service to the communities of Southwest Harbor and Tremont.
The Festival, put on by the Harbor House in Southwest Harbor is in honor of Don Featherstone, the creator of the plastic flamingo lawn ornament! For many years, Don and his wife Nancy would come to Southwest Harbor in their matching clothes, all handmade by Nancy.
Flamingos are available to purchase at the Harbor House, Monday-Friday from 8:30 to 4 p.m. A box set of 2 is $25.00
