Dive in to 2025

Get ready for Maine's seventh annual Seaweed Week!

From Friday, April 25th, through Sunday, May 4th, we're bringing you a seaweed-centered celebration across the state. Think kelp burgers, seaweed beer and cocktails, and everything in between at your favorite local bars and restaurants. And you'll find hands-on events like seaweed ID workshops, cooking classes, specialty tastings, and Seaweed Saturday—our one-day seaweed expo—all brought to you by Maine's seaweed experts. You could say we're a little "kelp crazy" around here, but by the end of the week, we bet you’ll be hooked too!
