Passy Pete Prediction on Labor Day


Passy Pete is the nautical New England lobster equivalent of the much beloved Punxsutawney Phil, the weather predicting groundhog of Pennsylvania. The first groundhog prediction was back in 1886. Legend says if he sees his shadow, winter will continue for another six weeks. But if he doesn’t, it will be an early spring.


Passy Pete comes forth from the cool waters of Penobscot Bay to make his prediction every Labor Day! Beginning in 2015, the Belfast Barons are the official handlers of Passy Pete and the prediction scrolls. Passy chooses from two scrolls offered to him. Will it be six more weeks of summer or an early winter?


After the prediction (and a little photo op and press), Passy Pete is released back into Penobscot Bay.


WHAT WILL IT BE THIS YEAR? PASSY PETE TELLS ALL!

LABOR DAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST @ 10AM, Heritage Park, Lower Main Street, Belfast. This is a free event.
