Memorial Day

Last year I had the opportunity to attend the Northeast Harbor's 2022 Memorial Day Observance. It really was wonderful, as it combined everything you could want, a parade, a solemn ceremony honoring those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and capped by a community cookout! They're going to be doing the same thing this Memorial Day, May 29th and you're invited!

The Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce invites you to attend the 2023 Memorial Day Observance on the Village Green by the War Memorial on Monday, May 29th beginning at 10 a.m.

"Honor, Hope and Healing" will spotlight stories of hope, courage and community spirit. We pay tribute to America's heroes - those lost abroad in service to their country as well as those going above and beyond to help their neighbors here at home. We'll also look at America's resilience and determination as we begin to emerge from the pandemic and heal the wounds of the last two years.

The Memorial Day Remembrances scheduled for 10 a.m. in Bar Harbor and Ellsworth are still on, despite the rain. And rightly so, given what today is all about. Memorial Day is the Day to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense and service to our country. On rainy, or snowy days, they didn't have the luxury to not go on patrol, or be in a foxhole.

A year after the Ellsworth Memorial Day Parade was canceled due to COVID, the Ellsworth VFW Post 109 wants you to participate in the 2021 Memorial Day Parade which will be held on May 31st.
