Core Sound Waterfowl Weekend is a lively celebration of Down East traditions, community, and good old fashioned island hospitality. The weekend kicks off with the Island’s Bring Back the Lights opening night, setting the stage for a full weekend of fun. The first weekend of December has become a beloved island homecoming, featuring the Decoy Festival at the school, local craft sales, yard sales, talented artists and carvers, and plenty of friendly faces along the way.

Come hungry because Saturday brings plenty to enjoy, from scallop fritters and sweet puppies to local treats and Down East favorites. Browse unique handmade crafts, watch talented carvers at work, bid in the online auction, and soak up the welcoming spirit of the community. Then, slow things down Sunday morning with a traditional church service and a true taste of Down East life.
