Twenty years ago National Geographic called us "The worm capital of the world." We are looking to continue our yearly Wiscasset Wormfest to celebrate this unique heritage, our community, and what it means to be from this beautiful Midcoast town. Help continue to support our grass root festival! We hope to see you all the weekend of June 12-14, 2026.

This year we are celebrating BIGGER! We are continuing building our History Museum, FREE family activities- including our hand built FREE carnival games, Chewonki touch tank learning area, street performers, more vendors-including food trucks, crafters and local non-profits, musical acts and continued this year- Wiscasset Wormfest Scholarship Award* to up to (2) WMHS 2026 seniors. Your donation helps with our continued growth of helping build a fun day celebrating Wiscasset heritage and allows us to give back to our community.

It takes a village to celebrate a village, and we can't wait to celebrate with you!

*Scholarship Awards will go to those students graduating from WMHS with the most community service hours. Our committee believes volunteering and helping build a stronger community is something important as adults, but is just as important for our youth to value and to contribute in. This scholarship will NOT be based on needing to go to a post-secondary school. This scholarship is for our future recipient(s) to put towards continued learning, tools for the trade they are going into or whatever else they may need for a leg-up in their next chapter in life.
