Bath Heritage Days began 48 years ago and is now run by Main Street Bath, which preserves and promotes the city’s historic downtown, said organizer Amanda McDaniel. The annual event celebrating Independence Day and Bath history includes a firemen’s muster, five nights of live music on an outside stage, antique cars, carnival rides, food trucks and more. Activities began Friday night and will end Tuesday night. Some events were called off because of Sunday’s torrential rain, but more are scheduled on Monday and Tuesday. On July 4th “we have one of Maine’s largest Fourth of July parades” and fireworks over the Kennebec River “which is absolutely majestic,” McDaniel said.
