Join The Fun: Volunteer For Bar Harbor's 4th Of July Festivities

The 4th of July in Bar Harbor is a Thing! If you've never been, you don't know what you are missing! From the Bar Harbor Rotary Blueberry Pancake Breakfast to the Parade and Seafood Festival and Fireworks, there is something for everyone and the day attracts thousands!

The Bar Harbor Rotary Club has a very active membership and volunteer crew but they need YOU to help them this year! Almost 150 volunteers help make the event possible by assisting with setup, food service, ticketing, cleanup, and more. No prior experience is needed — just a good attitude and willingness to help!

Proceeds from the Blueberry Pancake Breakfast and Seafood Festival help support local causes like scholarships, the MDI Hospital, Help Mobs, teacher awards, and much more!

The following help is needed!
