july 4th--any special events?

thanks. it seems like the eastern prom is where the action will be for the 4th. is there any other thing to see in this area?

The Eastern prom is great on the 4th. They close the streets in that area so you%26#39;ll probably have a 15 mminute walk to get to the park, unless you go early in the day. The Eastern prom is walking distance from the Old Port.

*bump*!

One more idea...

I just read that L.L.Bean, in Freeport (20 mins. from Portland), is putting on the largest fireworks show ever, in Maine. When Bean does something like this, they usually do it right. Might be worth checking out.
