Historically a blue-collar fishing town, Rockland has gotten a
bit of a facelift recently, with a somewhat depressed-looking main
street fixed up and enhanced by attractions like the Farnsworth Art
Museum and Wyeth Center gallery, as well as a number of shops and
restaurants. Rockland is best known as the home of the Maine
Lobster Festival, held each August, and it also hosts the North
Atlantic Blues Festival every July. Rockland also makes a great
base from which to explore the Saint George Peninsula and the
islands of Penobscot Bay: Vinalhaven, North Haven and
Matinicus.
