• Paint Eastport Day: On the first Saturday following Labor Day (September 11, 2004) on the first day of the Maine Salmon Festival in Eastport, the Eastport Gallery sponsors Paint Eastport Day. The public is invited to paint or sculpt their favorite Eastport scene. If you lack artistic talent, you can still enjoy the day by watching over the shoulders of artists who set up easels throughout the downtown area. David Orrell, Eastport artist and major driving force behind the Eastport Gallery, can be contacted at 853-4166 or 853-0706 for details.

Many locations in Eastport have free copies of a map detailing the Eastport/Lubec Quoddy Loop vicinity. Carry one with you. This map details roads and ferry routes connecting the entire area. You'll enjoy each of these day trips more fully if you have a camera and binoculars always at hand. At every turn you have the opportunity for a moose to appear, an eagle to soar overhead, or some other breathtaking sight to awaken your senses. Many days you'll want a sweater or sweatshirt within easy reach. Bring along water and food so you'll have the freedom to explore in every direction.
