ROCKLAND, MAINE— For 200 years, Mainers have built some of the world’s best boats. This tradition continues to this day. In celebration of Maine’s Bicentennial, a special exhibit at the Maine Boat & Home Show on the Rockland Waterfront from Aug. 13-15 will honor this heritage.
This coming August 13-15, the Rockland waterfront will once again be lined with fine boats and yachts, historic Maine vessels, and tents filled with all aspects of living life on the coast with the 2021 edition of the Maine Boat & Home Show.
“We are so thrilled to be coming back this year,” says show organizer John Hanson, “We really missed it last summer. The Maine Boat & Home Show is a celebration of the creativity of Maine’s small businesses, and it will be great to see everyone again and feel that incredible energy that is the show.”
Maine artist Colin Page, who is known for his light-filled land and seascapes, has been chosen to paint the poster for the 2021 Maine Boat & Home Show.

Whether it’s to look at a boat or to buy one (or just spend a nice day out on the waterfront), the Maine Boat & Home Show, on the Rockland waterfront August 9-11, is the place to be. The show is the largest of its kind north of Newport, Rhode Island, and this year, there will be more than 100 craft, large and small, luxurious and down-to-earth, power and sail, displayed both on land and in the water. There will also be a host of activities for young and old, plus art, fine furniture, jewelry, live music, marine gear, and local food.
