On Independence Day we decided to go to Camden and have lunch, and people watch. Being on a Wednesday the town was not super crowded, but there was plenty to see!
The town was filled with flags!
And bunting seemed to be everywhere!
Looking down Main Street
to the bank
which is draped in bunting for the
4th of July!
The inn in the center of town was also festive!
Streamers and rosettes add motion to the town!
Window boxes were very festive!
And if a shop had something outside it’s door,
it also got some celebratory trimming!
Even upstairs apartment windows were decorated!
People also went out of their way to wear the
red, white, and blue!
This man’s shirt blended with the flags!
Love the trimming of stars on the sleeves!
Suspenders were also in evidence!
There were even a few hats!
I thought this was a guy thing,
but then I saw these!
Love the high tops!
CAMDEN HARBOR
from the park.
While people watching in Camden is always fun, there is a lot to do there! There are often art shows and music in the park. And some of the windjammers sail from there as well. There are galleries, shops, and good food. If you plan to come to Maine, take a day to visit the town, and to drive to the top of Mt. Battie, which looms over the town. From there, on a clear day, one can see many of the coastal islands. Camden is definitely something to see!
