20th Annual NATIVE AMERICAN FESTIVAL and Basketmakers Market

July 5, 2008 - 10:00am - July 5, 2008 - 4:00pm

The festival begins at 10 AM with early-bird shopping from 9-10 a.m. This popular event draws a wide variety of enthusiastic visitors year after year ranging from professional basket collectors to the casual vacationers. Co-hosted by the Abbe Museum, the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance, and the College of the Atlantic, the festival is considered Maine's largest annual gathering of Native American artists.

Meet the artists while learning about and purchasing Wabanaki baskets, carvings, beadwork, dolls and other of handmade items. The day-long event includes Native music, dance, storytelling, and craft demonstrations and food. A silent auction is open to bidding all day; winners are announced at 3 PM.

Parking on campus is very limited and reserved for vendors. Free parking and a shuttle bus at Conners-Emerson School on Eagle Lake Road is the best way to enjoy a carefree day.
