ROCKLAND — The Maine Lobster Festival is looking for 20 young women to serve as Sea Princesses and compete for the title of Maine Sea Goddess at the 2019 Maine Lobster Festival, held this year from Wednesday, July 31, through Sunday, Aug. 4.
Applicants must be a high school graduate, 21 years of age or younger at the time of the coronation, and a Maine resident. Applications must be postmarked before March 31.
All application materials and new pageant guidelines for 2019 can be found on the Maine Sea Goddess Pageant & Coronation page of the Maine Lobster Festival website. This is a tradition dating back to 1948, when Ruth Roberts Danzig was crowned the first Sea Goddess.
On the opening night of the festival, held at Harbor Park, one Sea Princess is crowned the Sea Goddess and one is crowned the Crown Princess. The Sea Goddess will represent the Midcoast and the Maine lobster industry throughout the year at various festivals and events.
The Maine Lobster Festival is five days of fun and feasting on the coast of Maine to celebrate the lobster industry. The festival attracts thousands of people to Maine’s Midcoast region and has a long tradition of giving back to the local community.
This year will be the 72nd anniversary of the festival, For more information about the Maine Lobster Festival, visit www.mainelobsterfestival.com and be sure to “like” us on Facebook or follow on Twitter at @MELobsterFest.
