Welcome to the official site of Westbrook Together Days (WTD)!
This year, Westbrook’s biggest event will be June 3-4, 2011.
Westbrook Together Days is a 2 day festival that is fun for families and residents of all ages! The event dates are June 3rd and June 4th; Friday from 3-10pm and an all day event on Saturday from 10am to 10pm. Saturday the event begins with a Parade and concludes with a 30 Minute firework display. This event typically attracts 15-20,000 people and this year is Westbrooks 32nd annual Together Days event.
In addition to entertainment, there are numerous vendors, carnival rides, animal petting zoo, rock climbing wall, mechanical bull rides, all with significant support from the Police, Fire, and Public Works. This year the Parade will include all City Councilor members as well the Mayor. WLOB morning talk show host and proud Westbrook resident Ray Richardson will be the MC for this year’s parade and we even have Miss Maine International attending. This is a city wide event that several businesses and citizens volunteer their time and money to make it the success that it has become. Last year the WTD was awarded the Sprit of America Award from Maine and continues to bring pride and continuity to the community.
Click here to view the event brochure that has a map and entertainment schedule so you’ll know where to go and when to join in on the festivities. Look for a printed brochure in the American Journal the Thursday before the event. We recommend checking back to this site and liking us on Facebook (see below) so you can get updated information and details as they finalize.
Here are some events you won’t want to miss:
On Friday, the Westbrook Alternative Learning center is hosting a bike sale at Westbrook High School from 10am-3pm.
On Saturday, the Annual Boy Scout’s Pancake Breakfast begins at 7am at Riverbank Park. It’s certainly a tradition to start your day here before the parade begins.
The Parade begins at 10am and travels from Lincoln Street, down Bridge Street onto Main Street and finishes at Riverbank Park. Main Street closes in preparation for the Parade, so you’ll want to get downtown early and get a good spot. Visit our Parade Page of this site for more information.
After the Parade ends, families will want to head over to the SAPPI Gazebo Stage for Rick Charette and the Bubblegum Band which starts at noon. We have really great Musicians and Entertainers scheduled all weekend. Make sure to visit our Entertainment Page for details.
The highly anticipated Auction also begins at 12pm on Saturday and is located across the park in the Auction tent.
Westbrook Together Days sadly comes to an end on Saturday evening but it goes out with a BANG! At 9:45pm the sky lights up with a colorful Fireworks Display over Presumpscot River sponsored by IDEXX.
We also want to note that it’s really important to recognize the important WTD EVENT SPONSORS-without them, Westbrook wouldn’t have this time honored tradition. Please visit our Sponsors page and thank each sponsor the next time you come accross them in the community.
Parking is available on the surrounding streets around Riverbank Park and down Main Street. To support our “Living the Green Dream” theme, we encourage all that are able to ride their bikes to the Park. We will have Valet Bike Parking available again this year. Bikes will be securely monitored for a donation.
This year we will be raffling off a Westinghouse 42-Inch LED 1080p HDTV! Raffle tickets will be sold at the event as well as around town at People’s United Bank, Saco Biddeford & Savings Bank and New England Chiropractic.
On Sunday, June 5, the Westbrook School Department is hosting its Second Annual Westbrook Wellness 5k Run/Walk event to benefit the Westbrook Food Pantry and Resource Center. All participants must enter with a signed REGISTRATION FORM.
