A MUSKET VOLLEY

A MUSKET VOLLEY is fired from the foot bridge above Bad Little Falls in Machias to open the Margaretta Days Festival on June 13. The festival this year marked the 240th anniversary of the first naval battle of the American Revolution. Patriotic celebrations will continue with Downeast 4th of July celebrations, commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. While the U.S. marks its birth on July 4, Canada will be observing its birthday on July 1, with celebrations in the Quoddy area.
