ROCKPORT, MAINE - The Town of Rockport presents the wildly popular Rockport Donut Festival for its 4th year on June 12 & 13, 2026. While paying homage to the history of the donut, the two-day summer kick-off event will be jam packed with family-friendly activities in downtown Rockport and Marine Park, live music, food trucks, a parade, artisan market, the CedarWorks Kids Tent with activities by the Penobscot Bay YMCA, the Salty Seal Beer Garden, and thousands of delicious donuts from popular vendors from the Midcoast and beyond!
Gates open at 4pm on Friday and at 7am on Saturday. Admission to this volunteer-supported event is FREE, thanks to the generous support of individual and business sponsors and on-site donations from the community.
Featured donut vendors include Ruckus Donuts, Old Time Donuts, The Only Doughnut, Eighty 8 Donut Cafe, The Donut Grove, Graffiti Donuts, and The Holy Donut. Expect more Maine-based donut vendors to be added to the line-up as the festival nears.
