               The Eastport 4th of July Committee is an incorporated 
                non-profit organization which promotes a spirit of patriotism 
                through an annual Independence Day celebration in Eastport, Maine. 
              The Committee is organized and operated by volunteers. 
                No committee member is paid. 
              Each year, this event is held July 1st through 
                4th in conjunction with "Old Home Week". Thousands of visitors, 
                alumni of Shead High School, 
                and former "Eastporters" come to this beautiful island city to 
                celebrate our nations birthday, reminice with old friends and 
                have lots of fun! 
              There is something for everyone to enjoy while 
                in Eastport for the 4th - free outdoor entertainment, contests 
                and games, beauty pageants, an antique car show, arts & crafts, 
                parades and our Grand Fireworks Display. 
              Funding for these activites is raised through 
                private and business donations, vendor fees, and a voluntary road 
                toll. An amazing amount of volunteers all blend together each 
                year to successfully orchestrate the largest Independence Day 
                celebration in the State of Maine.
