In what could be classified as a “Boutique Business and Community Expo”, the Chamber’s Summer Business Showcase will feature Chamber members on display to speak with Lobster Festival attendees about their products, services, and initiatives.

Just inside the Park Drive entrance under the North Tent (Tent #6 on the Festival Grounds map), the Summer Business Showcase will take place on Wednesday, August 3, from 12 PM to 6 PM. *Some exhibitors may stay on hand as late as 9 PM.

Come network with our local business and community leaders, while you explore the grounds of the Maine Lobster Festival. In celebration of the Lobster Festival’s 75th year, there will be NO admission fee to enter the Festival grounds. Wednesday’s Festival events also include the coronation of the Maine Sea Goddess (6:30-8:30 PM) and Fireworks over Rockland Harbor (9:30 PM).

The Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce is seeking to fill a few more volunteer positions for its Rockland Information Center this summer.

The Chamber seeks friendly, professional, and reliable individuals who enjoy interacting with people from all walks of life and who are enthusiastic about promoting our region, our Chamber members, and our area’s many events and activities. Individuals who are able to commit to a regular, 3 to 4 hour weekly time slot during the summer season are preferred. Year-round volunteers and single-day event volunteers are also needed. For all positions, knowledge of the local area is essential, and we are happy to offer real-time training. Through our Information Centers and our outreach programs, the Chamber aims to be the authority on local business and tourism.
