Today is the day. Tonight is the Night. This afternoon is the afternoon.

The July First Friday event takes place today in Downtown Bangor.

What won’t be happening might be a shorter list.

It’s the Kickoff to Summer, and part of Downtown Bangor First Fridays.

Here is What is Going On

All day long Bangor Beautiful presents The Good Of The Hive Mural in Process.  Check out this art work. It is a pretty amazing project.

There are plenty of participating Downtown Bangor businesses that participate with different events at their stores or places of business.  So, check out the link for all the participants.

From 5 p.m. and running into the evening, the Kickoff to Summer Cornhole Tournament will take place at Abbot Square Parking lot on Harlow Street. Cash Prizes and trophies and fun for sure. There are registration fees for teams, and a competitive and a social bracket.
And a beer tent.

There is Live Music for the evening as well.

Sounds like fun for all ages.

And bonus, Chris Stapleton and the All American Road Tour is at Maine Savings Amphitheater for the evening, and you might well find a place to grab a bite to eat and have a few drinks, outside for the evening.

Plenty of places in downtown Bangor, and for that matter Brewer to do just that and hear the concert.

And if you are curious and are wondering what Chris Stapleton will play at the concert, get an idea here.

Happy First Friday of July, and lets play along and kick summer off with a great time, no matter what the weather will be next week. Today will be a beautiful Maine Summer day and evening.
