PORTLAND, Maine (AP) Portland canceled the state’s largest Fourth of July fireworks display, traditionally held on the city’s eastern promenade.
City Manager Jon Jennings was forced to make the decision because large social gatherings are not permitted and budget constraints preclude the city from covering the expense this year.
Other communities, including Bangor, have canceled their Independence Day events. Bangor plans to hold its Fourth of July parade on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend.
