Fun for all ages in beautiful Bucksport, Maine! For over 20 years, the Bucksport Bay Festival has brought our community together to create cherished memories—playing on the waterfront, enjoying delicious food, and watching dazzling fireworks with loved ones. Now organized by the Town of Bucksport, we aim to build on these traditions for future generations. Drawing 3,000-5,000 attendees annually, t
