Our 2026 Family Fun Day Lobster Bake is Sunday, Aug. 2, at the Cider Hill Farm in Waldoboro . This slice of Americana will feature the Democratic big tent, live music, beer, wine, freshly shucked oysters, and grass-roots politicking at its most personal.
The afternoon will begin at Noon with a Social Hour accompanied by live music. Dinner begins when the lobsters (or optional choices of Morse’s sausages or a vegan meal) come off the grill at 1 PM. We’ll also have short speeches by special guests.
Reserve your spot at by Thursday, July 29. Click here to securely order tickets online.
If you prefer to send a check, please to print and mail this form to be received before Friday, July 24.
We’ll have live music, fun and games like corn hole, and raffles to tempt your dollars. Please consider joining our host committee! Hosts receive special benefits and recognition at the bake and their contributions help us build our financial capacity to meet the challenge of grassroots organizing for the campaign season.
