Weekly Briefs and Press Releases: Bar Harbor Highlights

Oct 24, 2025

Each week we compile briefs and put them initially only on the website and then send them all on Friday (or Saturday this week).

We do that so that:

You get press releases from agencies, which is a common aspect of a local newspaper.
You don’t get 10 (or more) emails every day, which is what would happen if we separated it all out and sent each to you individually.

If you click through to a release that interests you, you can read it in its entirety.

You can always keep up with all the briefs throughout the week by clicking here. We also try to share them on Facebook, Instagram, and BlueSky, but sometimes we get too busy and when we do? That’s the thing that we drop since we know we’ll share them here on Fridays or Saturdays.

QUICK NOTE FOR HALLOWEEN:

Bar Harbor will be closing Ledgelawn Ave again this year, Friday, October 31, for Halloween. The road will be closed to vehicle traffic from around 3:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for the safety of pedestrians.

Also, our Halloween round-up is here.

Also, due to anticipated bad weather the Tremont PTO Trunk or Treat is going to be inside tomorrow.
