Early Morning Fun Run

Registration usually starts as early as 6:30 a.m., then the 10K Fun Run begins at 8:00 a.m. Challenge yourself to the run as you speed through the gorgeous scenery of Downeast Maine!

Deer Isle 4th Of July Parade

Every year, the Deer Isle 4th of July Parade travels through Main Street, starting very near to Pilgrim’s Inn! These festivities usually begin at 10:00 a.m. The best seat in the house is on our front lawn. Enjoy the parade comfortably just steps away from your accommodations! Not only is this event an annual tradition, it will feel like a blast from the past. While watching from the sidelines, you will be transported back in time with features such as classic cars, 1700s attire, and more. A new theme is chosen each year; local businesses, nonprofits, and community groups design creative floats to reflect their interpretation of the theme.

Lunch At Masonic Hall

After the parade, take your appetite to the Masonic Hall at noon for some buttery Maine lobster or other local classics on the menu!

Take A Break

After your delicious lunch, you’ll have some down time before other festivities begin. Relax on the Adirondack chairs by Mill Pond, take a nap in your cozy room at Pilgrim’s Inn, or go explore somewhere on the island! The innkeepers are always happy to offer suggestions. After you make your reservation, check your inbox for our Insider Guide to Deer Isle.

Enjoy A Delicious Dinner and Fireworks Over the Harbor

Head over to Stonington for a delicious dinner! This quaint fishing town has delicious seafood, and there is usually entertainment for the whole family. Pilgrim’s Inn owners Scott & Nicole favor the deck at Acadia House Provisions, for great food and drinks and the best view of the fireworks, over Stonington Harbor.
