Bar Harbor Festivals

The Perfect Time to Schedule Your Bar Harbor Maine Vacation

There are several Bar Harbor festivals you might want to participate in when you take a Bar Harbor Maine vacation.

Bar Harbor and Acadia NP are certainly fun to visit almost any time of the year. But when there is some kind of festival going on, it's a chance to experience the area on a whole different level. In fact, I've often felt like a Bar Harbor citizen for a day when we took part in the 4th of July festival.

Here's a rundown on a few of the festivals you'll find here:

• Bar Harbor Jazz Festival. PO Box 10, Bar Harbor, ME 04609, 207.288.5829. Get info on the schedule and performers for this year at http://barharborjazzfest.com/.


• Bar Harbor Music Festival. 59 Cottage Street, Bar Harbor, ME 04609, 207.288.5744. Check at http://barharbormusicfestival.com/.


• Bar Harbor 4th of July Shindig. I'm actually lumping several different events under this title, including a pancake breakfast, parade (with bagpipers, decorated bikes, bands, and the Shriners mini cars), lobster feed and fireworks. It's a fun day!

Whatever you choose to do, attending Bar Harbor festivals is bound to be fun. So, start planning your Bar Harbor Maine vacation today!
