The Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce received approval from the Bar Harbor Town Council at the Tuesday, May 4th Council Meeting to coordinate the 4th of July Parade and Fireworks.

In a letter to the Bar Harbor Town Council, Alf Anderson, the Executive Director of the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce stated that

"The Chamber's plan of action, is to take the necessary steps between now and July 4th to offer these events with all necessary safety measures in place.
