Join us Saturday, April 20th, 2024 from 11am to 4pm for Seaweed Saturday at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute in Portland. Activities at Seaweed Saturday will highlight seaweed in art, food, and science, featuring dozens of local seaweed farms, businesses, and organizations.
Maine Sea Grant will offer hands-on seaweed identification workshops and demos. Local artists will exhibit their seaweed-inspired works. In the marketplace, seaweed farms and businesses will showcase their seaweed products to taste or take home.
The Maine Outdoor Film Festival will also host film screenings throughout the day featuring seaweed stories and the outdoors. Because theater seating is limited, we ask that you pre-register for the film screenings on the official GMRI event page.
