There is no better place than the Maine coast to watch the fireworks on July 4th.
Here are 4 Reasons to enjoy Fourth of July Fireworks in Maine!
1st, you have beautiful Maine beaches on the Atlantic, watching fireworks sparkle and shimmer over the sea is the best …
2nd, Maine is rich with US history, ideal for celebrating our Independence Day. Maine became colonized in 1607, by Englishman George Popham in Fort St George. Agamenticus was the first US city to be chartered in 1641. This city later became known as York when Maine was annexed from Massachusetts in 1820.
3rd, Maine has more coastline than California and many towns that shoot off 4th of July fireworks over the ocean.
4th, Maine is vacationland – and fireworks are a great part of any holiday and vacation! Besides, Maine is the number 1 producer of lobster – and what goes better at a fourth of July BBQ than a seaside Maine clambake with lobster.
