Love Donuts? The ‘Rockport Donut Festival’ Is Coming In June
Go nuts for donuts, for a whole weekend in Rockport!
One of the great things about Maine during the summer, is the incredbile amount of food festivals throughout the state. From lobster, to red snapper hot dogs, to whoopie pies, and even Moxie, there is something for everyone! Now you can add yet another yearly tradition to this impressive list.
