BAR HARBOR — This weekend there will likely be little rest for a lot of retailers, shoppers, and bed racers in Bar Harbor, as the town celebrates with the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce’s 31st annual Pajama Sale and 17th annual Bed Races.
Starting at 6 a.m. this Saturday morning, November 14, you can stay in your pajamas and knock out some of that holiday shopping or just get some good deals!
The bed races begin at 10 a.m. The start is at the front of the Criterion Theatre.
Shoppers (and bed racers) are encouraged to arrive early in pajamas for the Early Bird Pajama Sale and stay in them for the annual Bed Races which highlight local businesses and nonprofits and groups of friends rushing down Cottage Street, usually in themed outfits and pushing wheeled beds.
Pajama attire often earns discounts from participating shops.
The Chamber is also holding a raffle. To participate, shoppers bring purchase receipts from participating businesses to the Chamber’s Information Center, which is located on the corner of Cottage and Main Street. Participants must do so by 1 p.m.
The Hadley Point Gang will be trying to claim its third win.
Local businesses participating are listed in the images below. Sponsors include First National Bank, the Bar Harbor Hospitality Group, Machias Savings Bank, and Cape Air.
If weather conditions change or precipitation increases, the chamber will share an update.
