Taking place on the second Saturday in July each year, Penobscot Day is a town-wide event with something of interest for everyone. The excitement begins at the Penobscot Historical Society with a breakfast and a first look at the huge yard sale, which lasts all day long. During the day, there is a parade through town, children’s games at the school, lunch and a silent auction at the Historical Society, and a barbecue lunch at the Fire Department. In the evening, there is a dinner at the Methodist Church, music behind the Bayview Takeout and an impressive display of fireworks to top everything off. This is an event not to be missed!
