The Kennebunkport Festival

05/30/2023

There will be no Festival this year,2023.

With staffing shortages and local businesses still bouncing back from Covid, we cannot in good conscience do the “big ask” it takes to make the Festival happen.

Again, we encourage you to support the individual events going on all summer and patronize all the local businesses.

It’s a building year. Thank you for your past support. Fingers crossed the Festival will be back next year.

We aren’t quite ready to bring the Kennebunkport Festival back for 2022, but we assure you that in 2023 we'll come back bigger and better than ever. While we plan for next year, we’ll be posting updates and ways to celebrate all year round. We'll also be highlighting our wonderful sponsors and the great nonprofits that the Kennebunkport Festival supports. The decision to postpone, yet again, was made with the hope that our next festival will be the best one yet. KPT Fest will be back with a heavy focus on fundraising for our fantastic nonprofits in Summer 2023.  

We’ll sea you soon!
