Annual OgunquitFest has Arrived! OGUNQUIT Ogunquit's town-wide fall festival takes place on October 21, 22 and 23, when the Ogunquit Chamber of Commerce will hold the town’s 13th annual OgunquitFest weekend. The festivities begin Friday, October 21 with a Brewfest at the Ogunquit Playhouse. Throughout the month of October, until OgunquitFest weekend, look for scarecrows at participating businesses and vote for your favorite. On Saturday October 22, the Autumn Bazaar, a shopper’s dream of one-of-a-kind crafters, artists and retailers, will be ready to help you with your holiday shopping. Pumpkin decorating and story hour at the Dunaway Center, OgunquitFest Olympics at the beach and horse-drawn wagon rides departing from Veteran’s Park at the corner of Beach and Main Streets are sure to be a delight for the kids. The Classic and Antique Car Show (rain date Sunday) at the Main Beach will be a draw for the entire
family. Also at the beach, from 2:30-3:30 p.m., let the kids run off some energy in our Halloween-themed Obstacle Course. There may be a great special guest appearance too! You won't want to miss the Wine Tasting from 2-5 p.m. at the Village Food Market, 230 Main Street. Try some tasty wines as well as crackers, salami, and cheeses. And what's a fall festival without a ghostly Tour from 6-8 p.m. at the Ogunquit Heritage Museum, Obeds Lane. Tours by the Ogunquit Heritage Museum. Bring your flashlight – it’s dark out there! $5 adults, children under 10 free. Weather permitting. Parking available at Obed's Lot (entrance to lot is on Cottage Street). Let your hair down on Sunday October 23, with the costume parade for the whole family (yes, bring the dog, too!), Waiter Races, and the High Heel Dash for charity. Be sure to check out these and more events at visitogunquit.org, or pick up a brochure, available at businesses throughout town. For more information: maineoktoberfest.com.
