Fourth of July Parade in Bangor | Bangor News

Thousands cheered under the sun as the Greater Bangor Area Fourth of July Parade rolled through, celebrating America’s 250th birthday with kids in red, white, and blue, patriotic families, and veterans honored with cheers. Despite construction delays on the Joshua Chamberlain Bridge, the slower pace let kids like Ariana Sharpe hand out ice pops to runners and spectators. With a more bearable 86-degree heat index, families like the Gardners enjoyed the festivities from their decorated Jeep, while Maine icon George Hale waved from his bright orange Corvette as grand marshal. Clowns, firefighters, and community groups added to the spirit — a day of pride, togetherness, and pure summer joy.
