BRUNSWICK
The Brunswick Downtown Association’s 2nd Annual Community BBQ will take place on June 25 from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Brunswick Town Mall.
The proceeds raised at the barbeque will help support the BDA’s community events held throughout the year.
“We host a lot of fun, free events during the year, like the Music on the Mall, the Brunswick Outdoor Arts Festival, Rolling Slumber Bed Races and the Annual Tree Lighting. We want people to know that the BDA is working hard to provide these great events for our community and hope that everyone will take advantage of them, come out and have fun,” said Patti Spencer-Yost, BDA marketing and communication coordinator.
The Natives are Restless and a variety of local musicians who bring the sounds of country, folk, soul, and rock music to the Town Mall will provide music in the gazebo.
This is a family friendly event. Activities for kids and adults include:
• Children’s parachute game, an obstacle course and a beanbag toss
• A Dahlov Ipcar StoryWalk, provided by Mid Coast Hospital, featuring the 18 pages of “Wild Animal Alphabet” by Maine author and illustrator Dahlov Ipcar
• Face painting by various local organizations
• Brunswick Fire Department is providing two active fire trucks to be available for kids to explore.
• Sidewalk CPR instruction
• Bounce House by Pathway Vineyard
• We Compost it! Will compost all food items and any waste products with the exception of plastic products.
No seating will be provided — attendees should bring a lawn chair or blanket if they want to sit while eating or listening to the music.
