Bucksport took a hard hit this past year after the Verso Mill closed. So this year the Annual Bucksport Bay Festival is just what this town needs to come back to life. Three days of tons of events from morning till night. 

Friday kicks off the festival with a golf tournament at the Bucksport Golf Club. Some other highlights of the day include a Karaoke Contest at the Gazebo and a free Parking Lot Movie at The Alamo.

Saturday is jam packed with activities, music and vendors. Starting at 8AM there is a 5k Race and Pancake Breakfast. Annual parade at 9:30AM and continued activities throughout the day leading up to the Fireworks over the Penobscot at 9PM.

The fun doesn't end Sunday with more live music from sun up to sun down and two different races including the Dinghy Race in Bucksport Harbor and Golf Cart Races in the Post Office parking lot.
