Look for our Flags
The Bar Harbor Merchants Association members fly one of our three different flags when they are open. Not all members are open throughout the entire year, but you can tell when they are by looking for the flag.
Think Local First
Think Local First: Thinking locally reduces transportation costs and protects our environment, supports local artists, farms, businesses, producers and organizations, and creates a supportive community and more sustainable economy.

Abbe Museum & Village Green Bar Harbor
Indian Market
The importance of creative placemaking and how it supports Wabanaki artists, as well as the local community, has led us to a very important initiative. The Abbe Museum Indian Market will shine a bright light on Wabanaki artists and deepen the economic impact of art making for tribal communities. In addition to a two-day market, we are planning a concurrent Indigenous film festival and a fashion show. And, as the event grows: a marketplace in the streets, an artist competition, a gala event, and the opportunity to taste Native cuisine.
