Register Now for the Bar Harbor Bed Races – November 9

One of the most fun days in Bar Harbor happens on Saturday, November 9th 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 7th.

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 Inn is donating 2 beds for teams to use!

Registration is only $25.00 and the more the merrier!

Last year I couldn't emcee the event as I was busy calling the MDI Trojans State Championship Game against Greely when the Trojans won their 1st ever Gold Football. I should be back this year, as there don't appear to be any conflicts!
