Bicentennial Committee

2020 was Maine's 200th Birthday and also the Town of Kennebunk's 200th Birthday - founded just three month's after Maine became a state in 1820.

“It’s our goal as a committee to bring this milestone anniversary celebration to the streets of Kennebunk, for the people of Kennebunk,” said Kathy Ostrander Roberts, chairman of the Town’s Bicentennial Committee. “We plan to celebrate our community pride and recognize our town’s history with all of the many activities we have planned.”

To commemorate this very special occasion a series of virtual events were planned to minimize the risk of exposure of COVID-19. The videos from the virtual events are posted below.
