Streets were lined on Monday with spectators who came out to enjoy the return of the Fourth of July celebration in Bangor after two years without one. The parade traveled along Wilson Street in Brewer, across the Joshua Chamberlain Bridge, then continued onto Main, State and Exchange streets. The parade, which lasted just about an hour, was part of a daylong set of festivities that also included a pancake breakfast and 3K road race in the morning. The Bangor Symphony Orchestra will take the stage at the Maine Savings Amphitheater for a free concert at 8:30 p.m. Local bands Dakota and The Stone Doctors will take the stage at 5 p.m., and fireworks are set to begin immediately after the BSO’s performance at 9:30 p.m.
