The event will be held at the 33-acre Raitt Farm on Route 103 in Eliot on Aug. 9 and 10 and is designed to celebrate the individuals, places and lifestyle that make Maine undeniably attractive to people from around the world.
The Beer Garden at the 2008 Celebrate MAINE Festival, which will be open to those ages 21 and older, will be hosted by the Shipyard Brew Pub and the new Shipyard Regatta Room Banquet Center in Eliot and will highlight Shipyard Brewing Company's award-winning beers and ales as well as a variety of Capt'n Eli's Soda.

The Regatta Room will host 240 seated guests and a second room, called the Optimus Room, will feature fine wines and accommodate 70 seated guests.
