Wiscasset's 4th of July - Celebrate America's 250th with parade, music, food & more!
Wiscasset is ready to celebrate America’s 250th with a celebration of veterans, along with traditional events, family activities, live music, and fireworks.
Wiscasset’s 4th of July celebration will begin at 10 a.m. with a parade. In a special tribute, this year’s parade will forgo a traditional single Grand Marshal. Instead, the procession will celebrate Wiscasset-area veterans, who will ride together on the lead float. Parade line-up will start on Churchill Street at 9 a.m. - organized by members of Lincoln Lodge #3.
At 10 a.m. the parade will begin - crossing Route 27, proceeding down Hooper Street to Federal Street, turning onto Main Street (Route 1) to Water Street then ending at the waterfront. An announcement of awards will take place on the waterfront after the parade. American Legion Post #54 will lead a memorial salute and flag raising at Wiscasset waterfront. Strawberry shortcake will be on sale at the Wiscasset Yacht Club. Wiscasset Parks and Recreation will have games and a dunk tank until early afternoon. Hot dogs will be for sale, and the ice cream stand will be open on the waterfront.
Evening festivities continue starting at 6:30 p.m. at the waterfront - Back River Bistro will host a bbq tent and beer garden, and live music will be provided by 3 Drinks In until 9:00 p.m. Fireworks will begin after dusk (around 9:15 p.m.)
