It’s our round up of upcoming government meetings. All are public. That means you can go and be involved.
Apr 07, 2025

The Bar Harbor Story is generously sponsored by Paradis Ace Hardware.

Every week we document Bar Harbor, MDI, and Trenton government and school meetings that we know of. Please let us know if we’ve missed something.
Also, sometimes things are on the town and school calendars are cancelled or rescheduled, so make sure to doublecheck before you head over! This is especially true if no agenda has been posted. Sometimes agendas are posted later in the week are not available at our Monday press time. And sometimes (because Southwest Harbor’s website has corruption issues) we can’t safely download an agenda.
We’ve separated the meetings and agendas by towns and then put school meetings together.
Again, if there are no agendas posted for an event, please verify with the town that it is occurring. We don’t want you heading over for no reason.
BAR HARBOR



OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
According to Bar Harbor’s website, “Meetings that are broadcast live can be viewed at home by watching Cable Access Channel 7 or 1303 (Spectrum Cable only) and online at Town Hall Streams.”
All meetings are open to the public. If there is an executive session, that part of the meeting is not open.
All the meetings take place at the Bar Harbor Municipal Building at 93 Cottage Street unless otherwise noted. And they usually have a time for public comments. This is not true about executive sessions, which are closed to the public.
So, go! Be informed! Be part of the process. You deserve to be.
