2025 Annual Harbor House Flamingo Festival

July 12-14, 2025

The annual Harbor House Flamingo Festival is whimsical, lighthearted and decidedly pink,  this fun filled family festival truly has something for everyone.

History of the Flamingo Festival: The festival originally began as Southwest Harbor Days but later evolved into the Flamingo Festival. In the late 1990s, a cocktail party held during the event featured a flamingo as its mascot. Around that time, it was discovered that Don Featherstone the inventor of the iconic plastic lawn flamingo lived in Massachusetts, and he was invited to attend the festival. Since then, the flamingo has become a lasting symbol of the celebration.
