Bar Harbor's Fourth of July Festivities has been voted the #1 Fourth of July celebration in America by the Today Show, and recognized by National Geographic as one of the top ten in the U.S. With a full day of events, there are so many ways to enjoy the holiday, it's no wonder that people love spending the Fourth in Bar Harbor.  The Parade is one of the last Old Fashioned Parades in Maine.  1-2 hours long with often 10 deep on the sidelines.  My favorite event of the year.
