On June 22, residents from Brunswick and beyond will gather to celebrate our first responders and recognize their service to our community.

The Brunswick Downtown Association presents this Community BBQ as a chance to welcome new members to town and visit with old friends. There will be music, face painting, tractor-train rides, a bounce house, fire trucks to explore, and puppies and kittens from the Midcoast Humane Society.

Local celebrities will be grilling hot dogs and hamburgers, and serving cookies, chips, watermelon, and beverages. Ticket prices are astonishingly low at $5 for adults and $3 for kids 5 and under. First responders will eat for free.

This annual summertime event is a fun way to see your friends and neighbors and say thanks to our extraordinary public safety professionals.
