Camp Ellis

Registration is open for this year’s Camp Ellis HarborFest bike parade and crab derbies!

BIKE PARADE
At 10:00 AM on Aug. 9, the festival will kick off with the bike parade, an old HarborFest tradition that returned in 2025. Kids are invited to decorate their wheels, roll on down to the festival, and compete for prizes!

All wheels are welcome (bicycles, wheelchairs, wagons, scooters, etc.), except for motorized and electric devices. Judges will vote on the most creative rider for three age groups: 0-4 years, 5-10 years, and 11-16 years.

Advanced registration for the bike parade is strongly encouraged and can be completed online at sacomaine.org/harborfest.

CRAB DERBY
After the Bike Parade, two crab derbies will take place during the festival, with one at 10:45 AM and one at 12:30 PM. Families who sign their children up will gather at the pier during their respective time slot and receive gear to catch crabs safely from the pier floats. Once the crabbing period is over, participants will choose their favorite crab to enter in the race.

Crab derby slots are limited and registration fills up fast! Sign up today to secure your spot at sacomaine.org/harborfest. Participants may only compete in one of the two time slots.
