Main Street Bucksport's mission is to build a more vibrant and sustainable downtown by engaging community members, local leaders, and visitors, supporting entrepreneurship, and celebrating downtown assets. We are a network community of the Maine Downtown Center and affiliated with the Main Street National Program. For centuries, the Bucksport Bay Area has called to visitors from near and far, enticing them to visit — and often, to stay. In 2021, we were named the USA Today #1 Small Coastal Town. Business-friendly, our community has many assets: fresh and salt water recreational areas, a historic theater, small shops and unique restaurants - all with ample parking. The riverwalk (see photo right) is a 1mile+ path along the shoreline that features unique art pieces, our Veterans' Memorial, benches and bathrooms! Bucksport has a 500 seat performing arts center, numerous athletic fields and local sports, churches and civic clubs. Town government services are assessible and responsive. Main Street Bucksport works collaboratively enhance these assets and support events and community projects.
