Yarmouth Clam Festival returns with focus on sustainability

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • May 23, 2025

This year, the Yarmouth Clam Festival will make extra efforts to increase the event’s sustainability and reduce its environmental impact. The festival is marking its 60th anniversary and likely will see over 100,000 visitors during July 18-20. The emphasis on sustainability follows the Yarmouth Town Council adopting the Yarmouth Climate Action Plan last spring. One of the plan’s goals is to increase community collaborations toward reducing waste and emissions produced in Yarmouth.
