While you’re in Searsport for SardineFest, take some time to explore the local businesses. Stop by the Scullery Made Deli for their special avocado toast topped with thinly shaved onions, blistered tomatoes, and sardines. Head over to the Splendiferous Sweet Shoppe to try your hand at decorating chocolate sardines. At H & H Mercantile, check out their sardine-themed window, enjoy 10% off storewide, and let the kiddos take part in a sardine coloring contest.
For some non-sardine fare, the United Methodist Church Lunch Wagon will be serving breakfast sandwiches, burgers, and hotdogs, and you can stop by Moose's Smokehouse at Maineport Brewing Company for food and drinks.
There’s plenty to see, do, and taste around town while you’re here for SardineFest!
SardineFest is Saturday, October 3, from 10 AM–4 PM in Searsport. Come for a talk, stay for the music, food, demonstrations, and more! This free event is presented by Hamilton Marine, and sponsored by First National Bank, Sprague Operating Resources LLC, and Safe Harbor Front Street.
