Rockland Maine - Today is the opening day for the 66th Maine Lobster Festival in Rockland Maine.  It is also coronation day for the new 2013 Maine Sea Goddess.  This morning the Sea Princesses had their last practice before the coronation at 8:00 pm tonight.  The last chance to get that walk and wave just right.  The last chance to be sure everything is ready for the ceremony tonight.  The last day of Alexandra Dienesch-Calamari's reign as 2012 Maine Sea Goddess!  Tonight the new 2013 Maine Sea Goddess will be chosen and begin her reign.

As noon approached King Neptune and his court arrived at the public landing in Rockland with a Coast Guard escort.  The festival flag was raised and King Neptune declared the 66th Maine Lobster Festival open!  With an amazing bounty from the sea it is no surprise that the lines at the food tent were already long, but have no fear this crew will get them all feed in no time.

Come see the coronation of the 66th Maine Lobster Festival Sea Goddess be crowned! Festivities start at 8pm with music and the introduction of the Sea Princesses with their US Coast Guard escorts from our own Rockland Station.
