NEW GLOUCESTER — The seventh annual festival of some of Maine’s finest, award-winning Native American artists will be held from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 22, at the Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village — America’s only active Shaker Community.

More than 40 members of the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Micmac and Maliseet tribes will demonstrate important, traditional Wabanaki art forms including basket making, woodcarving, bark etching, doll making, bead work and jewelry, in addition to featured performances of drumming, dancing and story-telling. High-quality, handmade crafts will be available for sale.

This is the southernmost gathering of Wabanaki artists in the state of Maine. There is no charge to attend and the event will be held rain or shine. Barbecue lunch plates will be served.
