September 22 is the annual Roche de Boeuf festival of Waterville.
Festival description from the Waterville Chamber of Commerce: "This fun festival is in its 34th year and takes place on the streets of
Downtown Waterville. From 9am to 4pm, the streets are lined with craft
and food vendors of all types. At 10am, the parade runs down South
River Road from the Waterworks Park to Mechanic Street, featuring the
Anthony Wayne Marching Generals, our Home Town Hero, and floats (for
the second year, a float contest with cash prizes will take place).
Within the festival area is a car show with prizes for People's Choice,
custom and modified, and classic cars. Also along South River Road are
the Lost Arts areas with demonstrations of weaving, dulcimer players,
Indian games and the like. At Farnsworth and South River Road, and
also at Farnsworth Road and Second Street, there are stages set up for
entertainment. Local bands (country, classic rock, etc), magicians,
the Waterville Playshop, the Anthony Wayne Cheerleaders, and other acts
perform throughout the day.
The festival is free to attendees, as is parking and shuttle service."
