One of the most fun days in Bar Harbor happens on Saturday, November 14th this year, with the Annual Bar Harbor Bed Races! This year, the event will take place from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Imagine if you will Cottage Street closed down from The Criterion to Main Street and the sidewalks lined with cheering spectators, most dressed in their pajamas! That's what happens during the Bed Races, and we want you to participate!

Teams of 5 propel their beds up and down Cottage Street, stopping in a challenge area!

A full list of the rules and registration information may be found HERE. Entry deadline is November 6th.

You can enter your own bed, but if you have a team, and don't have a bed, no need to worry, because the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce will have extra beds for you to use!

Registration is only $25.00 and the more the merrier!
