Summer and fall in Maine bring a jam-packed schedule of festivals every year celebrating things like art, blueberries and music. Many are along the crowded coast. But if you look inland, many festivals have been launched in recent years to encourage visitors to embrace an outdoor lifestyle – whether by bike, paddle or through a telescope watching the night sky.

• SLAPJACK BIKE FESTIVAL, July 9-16, Greenville region
• MAINE WOODS RAMBLER, Sept. 24, Millinocket
