So you’ve missed Day 1 of the Kennebunkport Festival, but it’s not too late to take part in some or all of the exciting events that make this week so special. In fact, there’s still room in tomorrow’s “Art of Dining” intimate dinners. Just
Their three and a half story spiral staircase makes ours look teeny!
steps from our Kennebunkport Bed and Breakfast lies the Samuel Stairs House. This stunning manse was built in 1810 and boasts one of the tallest spiral staircases in New England (it’s three and a half stories high!). Incredible as it might seem, the truly astounding detail is the preserved wallpaper smuggled into the United States during the Civil War. So while you are enjoying the delectable creations of Kennebunkport’s very own Chef Gary Caron of Stripers Restaurant, make sure to take special note of this historic home. Even though this building is still a private home (thank you, Longworth family for welcoming the Kennebunkport Festival!), you’ll enjoy the finest selection of wines from Hall Wines. Not only will your palate be excited, but so will your eyes – on the works of Craig Mooney. A renowned artist, Craig is featured in the Maine Art Gallery.
Not in the mood for such a formal event? Don’t miss out on the After Party at Bandaloop Restaurant. Always a favorite, it is sure to be hoppin’ tomorrow night. For just $20, enjoy signature cocktails (and they are always amazing), appetizers, and live music. Plus, there’s more artwork to be enjoyed by Pam DeSantis Tachibana. Yep, the Kennebunkport Festival certainly is different than any other food and wine festival, and not just because it has the best location imaginable! Artistic creations are one of the cornerstones of Kennebunkport Maine, and the festival has stayed true to its roots with the incorporation of substantial amounts of incredible artwork from primarily local artists.
Stay tuned, because there’s so much more to come in this year’s Kennebunkport Festival!
