Welcome To The Ploye Festival
August 13-15, 2021
The 2nd weekend in August is a busy time in Fort Kent.
The Fort Kent International Muskie Derby is in full swing and fisher-folks from all over
come to catch that record-breaking muskie.
It is also that time when school will soon be in session
and families are trying to cram much summer fun into their days as possible.
What better way to wrap up your summer with a celebration an Acadian Icon – the Ploye (the Acadian buckwheat pancake).
This year’s Ploye Festival includes activities such as making the world’s largest ploye, reunions,
musical entertainment, Dog-a-thon, food, vendor booths, kids games and more.
It’s a weekend of fun for the whole family.
