Every Wednesday this summer will feature a live event on Bucksport’s Main Street from 5:30 to 7pm. You just can’t miss these events – they’ll be on the street, under a tent, at The Alamo Theatre, the stunning new Lighthouse Arts Center or at our beautiful waterfront gazebo! The street and the Town will be alive with energy and local merchants welcome you - they might even offer a special to celebrate the fun. Events are free but donations are gratefully accepted! See it all at www.bucksportwom.com
