Plaid Friday in Downtown Bangor

Avoid the lines, stress, and the hunting for parking spots that come with the typical retail places on the Friday after Thanksgiving!
Instead, sleep in and join us in Downtown Bangor for Plaid Friday, a celebration of local and independent small businesses.
Plaid Friday is the fun and enjoyable alternative to the big box store “Black Friday” and is designed to promote both local and independently owned businesses during the holidays.
Many Downtown Bangor retailers have special offerings ranging from expanded hours, discounts for those wearing plaid, free gift wrapping, and other surprises!
And don’t miss the debut of this year’s Hollywood Casino Hotel & Raceway light show as we light the Holiday Tree in West Market Square at 4:30pm!
